My Story…

I’m running this marathon for the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota, a cause that is important to me because I have epilepsy. Epilepsy has shaped parts of my life that many people never see, which is partially why this foundation means so much to me. The foundation provides education, support, and advocacy for individuals and families affected by epilepsy. If you are able to donate, I’d be really grateful. Every little bit helps!! 

Description

 Your gift to the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota today provides:

  • Education on research-based strategies to manage epilepsy for Minnesotans living with epilepsy
  • Supported access to healthcare and treatments
  • Personalized support navigating barriers to employment, education, and basic living needs
  • Social programs that build meaningful connections, including social events, youth programs, and peer-based Connect Groups
  • Seizure recognition and response training for 10,000+ individuals working and living in Minnesota annually


Together, we are making sure no one in Minnesota faces epilepsy alone.
