Help Me Change the Conversation About Epilepsy
I’m grateful to be running the Cleveland Half Marathon again this year on Sunday, May 17, in support of Empowering Epilepsy. This nonprofit is doing incredible work for individuals and families affected by seizure disorders.
More than 11 years ago, Nathan was diagnosed with epilepsy. By God’s kindness and grace, he is doing well today—but that journey opened our eyes to how many families are walking through the challenges of life with seizures.
I’m also running in memory of our friend Mia Alexandria Lake, who faced epilepsy with such strength and faith. Mia and her family were a loving and helpful support to Nathan and me in those early days of navigating his diagnosis.
I’m grateful and honored to take part in this event as a way to stand with those who face the challenges of epilepsy every day—and to remember those whose lives have been deeply impacted.
Your encouragement and support mean so much. 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 26 people 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!
