Hello, my name is Claire Macosko! Born and raised Cleveland native, I grew up playing sports, but particularly sports with a lot of running. I was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2012 at the age of 21, and my world really changed. From there, I knew I wanted to find something to help and challenge me physically and mentally. In 2013, I ran my first Cleveland Marathon Individual Race - the Half Marathon. Since then, I have run multiple races outside of the Cleveland Marathon, have done each individual distance for this event and I am heading in to my second Challenge Series (10K & Half marathon)!
Having epilepsy also drew me into the health and wellness world becoming a massage therapist. Here, I learned how important it is to educate and understand the body from a holistic approach. Empowering Epilepsy provides so much support to this community in Northeast Ohio for those with this condition and their loved ones through providing support groups, therapies, classes and bringing in doctors and those who are researching this condition.
Please donate to help the epilepsy community and this special organization, or as simple ask questions to understand more about epilepsy. Thank you!
Description
Please support me as I join Empowering Epilepsy's Team in the Cleveland Marathon! Their mission means a lot to me because they 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...even decades.
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.
Every dollar raised is helping to empower the lives of people living with epilepsy and seizures in Northeast Ohio!
