Help Me Change the Conversation About Epilepsy

Help me change the conversation about epilepsy! I am supporting Empowering Epilepsy because 1 in 26 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime. After diagnosis, Empowering Epilepsy is there to help improve quality of life and discover what they can do while livin. Empowering Epilepsy focuses on educating people with epilepsy and their loved ones more about their diagnosis and treatment plan, and helping them improve their quality of life.

Description

Please support me as I join Empowering Epilepsy's Team in the Cleveland Marathon! Their mission is to show people living with epilepsy and their loved ones what they can do.

1 in 10 people will have a seizure in their lifetime. 1 in 26 will be diagnosed with epilepsy. Receiving an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan can take years. Empowering Epilepsy's goal is to better educate people with epilepsy on their diagnosis and treatment plan, so they can talk to their doctor and more quickly improve their overall quality of life. They provide free or low cost programs, conferences, and support to help them discover what they can do.

Donations to support my run or walk means the world to me. Every dollar donated is helping to empower the lives of people living with epilepsy and seizures in Northeast Ohio!
