Let’s walk to Make Epilepsy History! Make a difference now by donating to a team member and then join us on May 16th to walk as one community.
Lunch will be provided for all registered participants!
We’ll be featuring face painters, games for the kids, information about the ketogenic diet, information from many vendors, and plenty more!
