I was so proud of myself for just surviving.”

About Lizzy:

Elizabeth Terry is a lifelong “Hoosier,” Indiana University graduate, and recreational therapist. Diagnosed with narcolepsy while in college in 2015, she became a trained speaker through Project Sleep’s Rising Voices of Narcolepsy program in 2018. By sharing her story, she continues to build awareness for this misunderstood neurological condition and encourages others to do the same.

About Rising Voices of Narcolepsy:

To improve public understanding of narcolepsy, Project Sleep’s Rising Voices of Narcolepsy program trains people with narcolepsy to share their stories through public speaking and writing with local communities, healthcare providers, news outlets, blogs and beyond. Combining the power of real-life stories with expert communication strategies, our Rising Voices of Narcolepsy trained speakers and writers are effectively raising awareness and reducing stigma for all those facing narcolepsy.

Applications are now available for our next Rising Voices training sessions in the summer of 2020.
