Empowering Epilepsy connects people with epilepsy to experts and peers for education, care, and friendship. We anchor a caring community that empowers our members and their loved ones to better understand and manage their treatment plan throughout their epilepsy journey.

Walk or run to help us change the conversation about epilepsy and show people living with seizures what they can do.
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. 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!!
