Our story…
Support Empowering Epilepsy as you run or walk the 5K, 10K, Half or Full Marathon!
Fundraise for Empowering Epilepsy's Cleveland Marathon Team today! 100% of your support goes directly to helping people live well with seizures in Northeast Ohio.
Walk or run to help us change the conversation about epilepsy and show people living with seizures what they can do.
Empowering Epilepsy enables people with epilepsy to take charge of their lives by connecting them to experts and peers for education, care and support at every age and stage. Since 2014, Empowering Epilepsy has been running innovative, results-driven programs and events throughout Northeastern Ohio to enable people with epilepsy to take charge of their lives.
Approximately 65,000 people in Northeastern Ohio have seizures, while many more have these symptoms that remain undiagnosed. 1 in 10 people will experience a seizure in their lifetime, and 1 in 26 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy.
Epilepsy has remained a hidden disease that people do not talk about because it involves losing control. The lack of knowledge in the general public causes embarrassment and isolation. We need people to learn more about the spectrum of seizures and support Empowering Epilepsy's free or low cost programs and services.
Programs offered include conferences, sessions, and support groups, all with epilepsy specialists from Level 3 and 4 Epilepsy Centers. Our Empowering Epilepsy Headquarters also hosts art therapy, special events, educational sessions, and classes focused on improving participants mind, body and spirit. Our center also offers lifestyle guidance through peer and expert interactions. Our programs are offered at low- or no cost, which we are only able to provide thanks to your support.
Run, Walk, Donate and Fundraise for Empowering Epilepsy to help us change the conversation about epilepsy and seizures in Northeast Ohio. We need your support to help show people what they can do while living with epilepsy! Thank you!!
