Join us for the 2021 Walk to End Epilepsy
Saturday, June 19, 9am-12pm
Tennessee RiverPark
​
The 2021 nationwide Walk to End Epilepsy is a chance to come together as a community to actively support those we love who are living with epilepsy. On June 19th, we will gather at the Tennessee RiverPark and together walk a 5k to raise epilepsy awareness and support our friends and family with epilepsy all over the country.
1 in every 26 people in the US will develop epilepsy at some point in their lifetime, so it's important to raise awareness and promote epilepsy education here in southeast Tennessee.
​
Your contribution toward our efforts to bring awareness and to support those in our community is immeasurable. Every dollar counts toward impacting those we care about deeply. We work hard every day to reduce seizure related stigmas and create a world that is safer and more supportive for those with epilepsy. Thank you for joining us in our endeavors
Fundraising continues to the end of JUne (so you can still rack up those prizes)!
The walk on the 19th was such a success! 221 people registered and helped us raise $13,900! If you would still like to continue fundraising so you can work your way up to bigger and better prizes, there's still time! Donations raised through the end of June will all count towards your award totals.
