Misty Ried

Misty resides in South Carolina, with her husband Ben and their two children, Braxton and Allie. In 2009 her son, Braxton, was diagnosed with Dravet syndrome at just 15 months old. With very little information given to them by their neurologist, they immediately went online in search of other parents to help educate and guide them in the right direction. After meeting with one of the founders of DSF, Misty knew that one day she would become part of the “Fight for a Cure”. Soon after, her journey to raise funds for the foundation took off! Between 2010 and 2016 she hosted five events raising over $100,000.00. Her events have included Steps Toward a Cure walks, a golf tournament, a 5K and a Burn-a-thon. Her mission in life is to spread awareness about Dravet syndrome, mentor parents of newly diagnosed children and help raise funds for patient assistance and research. Misty joined the DSF staff as their Campaign Director in late 2016.
