Bryson Thompson, the son of Cal running backs coach Aristotle Thompson, has had epilepsy since the age of 4. Now 10, he still deals with multiple seizures each day.

In the meantime, he and his older brother, Brock, decided to help other children dealing with epilepsy by starting their own non-profit organization to raise money for medical equipment, including helmets. The foundation, called Helmets4Helmets, has provided helmets to over 30 kids dealing with epilepsy.
