Epilepsy on the Move: Stay tuned for upcoming epilepsy and seizure disorder events and news in 2018

We strive to keep moving all year long in the march against epilepsy and seizures and this upcoming year is no different with two major events that are happening early in 2019. One is of course, International Epilepsy Day and the other is the National Epilepsy Walk that will take place in Washington, DC.  Click on this link to read more about these.  

Very important!

December: we are clearing out all our stock of awareness-raising products (T-shirts, awareness ribbons, bags, etc.). Please consider making a donation in exchange for one or several of these products! They are sure to make someone really happy when they receive this as a gift for Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Festivus (for the rest of us) or any other special day you celebrate. Some samples of gift ideas:

On February 11, we will all be out celebrating International Epilepsy Day

This day is a joint initiative of the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) and the International League against Epilepsy (ILAE) celebrated across the globe in the 138 of countries in which IBE and ILAE are represented. The International Epilepsy Day is the most prestigious epilepsy event in the world.  Let's use this day to raise awareness about epilepsy!

This is a day for everyone, no matter where you are in all of the USA or the world, no matter whether it is just you or a whole group of you. We want you to help us celebrate International Epilepsy Day! Let's speak with one global voice.  Remember that PURPLE is the official awareness color of epilepsy--you can wear purple clothes, hair extensions, nail polish, deck your home, car, or office in purple and wear awareness raising clothes (http://www.epilepsyfree.com/product/epilepsy-t-shirt-ask-me-about-epilepsy/).

April 27, 2019, participate in the National Epilepsy Walk in Washington, DC choosing either the 1-mile walk or the 5K route.  This walk brings together teams from all over the US raising awareness and funds for epilepsy.
