Our Founder, Addie Schuch, has always led with a philanthropic and service-oriented spirit. After a family member was impacted by Epilepsy, she was inspired to take action. Addie’s Angels NFP was created to raise awareness for Juvenile Epilepsy and other seizure disorders, while also generating support for research and medical testing advancements that help diagnose and treat those affected.

President ~ Judi Schuch
Thank you for visiting Addie's Angel NFP. As President of this organization, it is my honor to bring awareness to Juvenile Epilepsy and various types of seizure disorders. Neurological disorders vary in spectrum and arise from all sorts of conditions or events in one's life. While some families experience benign or rolandic circumstances, there are thousands of families across this country that suffer with serious and debilitating forms of Epilepsy. It is our goal to improve the protocols associated with an important neurological test called an electroencephalogram ("EEG"). An EEG is a safe and painless test that looks for changes in the brain's electrical patterns that relate to seizures. It can be performed in a hospital or an at-home setting under various forms of electronic monitoring. At-home testing is extremely cost-prohibitive and cumbersome for the patient. We want to help improve the process associated with gathering this valuable medical information. Originally from Woodstock, Illinois, I attended the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, the American Institute for Paralegal Studies based at Loyola University, and the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Law, formerly The John Marshall School of Law. With experience in large, multi-national litigation as well as small service industries, pro bono work and volunteerism has always been my passion.

Hello! My name is Zhaneta Roura. I grew up in a small town in the beautiful country of Bulgaria before moving to the United States almost twenty years ago. I am passionate about traveling to different destinations and trying new things. Living in several states has been a fun adventure, but today, Arlington Heights, IL is the place where my husband Adan, myself and our two boys, Adi and Gio, call home. I care deeply about our community. As such, our family remains very involved in youth sports and volunteering. I work with special needs students at a local elementary school, and the opportunity to support them in their quest for learning is truly rewarding and fulfilling. Our Founder, Addie Schuch, is an incredible young woman, who inspires the people around her with not only her energy and drive, but also with her caring and loving heart. She is making a positive impact by embracing her family's personal encounter with epilepsy and transforming it into a mission for spreading awareness and raising funds for the advancement of new treatments. It is a privilege to serve as the Treasurer of Addie's Angels NFP, and I am proud to support Addie's noble endeavors.
