Walking in honour and memory of people affected by seizures
Let's make every step count! Carpe Diem!
On Your Marks…Get Set…Go: 3rd Annual Seize the Day Event Takes on Epilepsy in Windsor-Essex!
On Sunday, September 22 at 10:30am, Epilepsy Southwestern Ontario (ESWO) will host its 3rd Annual Seize the Day 5k Run / 2.5k Walk in Windsor, to raise funds for epilepsy education, support and community engagement programs for local communities in Southwestern Ontario. This fun filled family event will include a run and walk, followed by a community BBQ.
The Seize the Day 2.5k Walk & 5k Run supports individuals, families and members of the community affected by seizures and epilepsy. Whether you are walking to honour someone who passed away from a seizure, supporting those affected by epilepsy and seizures, or want to help raise awareness, we invite you to join us for this special occasion. Whether you run marathons, or just enjoy the casual walk, everyone is welcome to participate! We hope you can join us and help make this annual event an impactful one.
