Chris Colfer sister Hannah Colfer is an epilepsy survivor. Hannah has struggled with the disease since she was two and a half years old. 

Chris recently appeared in the Celebrity Name That Tunes on the February 1 episode, which attracted the attention of the fans towards his family.

He played for the Make-A-Wish Foundation team. 

He has been active in non-profit organizations for a long time because he understands that people need help.

His mother was a firm supporter of organizations that had to do with epilepsy. The daughter suffered from the disease at a young age.

Her story was made public to make people aware of the disease and how parents could deal with the difficulties that come along the way.

In 2010, her mother appeared in a radio interview and that was when the public got to know how much Chris's sister had struggled since childhood but also battled with the condition and survived. 


Hannah Colfer Battled Epilepsy As A Child

Chris Colfer sister Hannah Colfer is an epilepsy survivor. Her mother appeared in a radio interview twelve years ago where she shared her daughter's struggles. 

She said that Hannah was perfectly fine until she was two and a half years old.

She started to have seizures, and doctors recommended putting her on medication and told the family that some kids may have it when they are growing up, and it may be healed after a few years. 

However, she fell into the 3 percent category where the medication does not work for seizures.

By 14, she had 50 seizures every hour, every day. She had to be taken to ICU every time she had seizures, which would make her unresponsive.
