Walk for Epilepsy 2016 - Epilepsy Foundation of Arizona   ○   Epilepsy Now

BE THE CURE!

At age 12, I was diagnosed with epilepsy. For many years, my seizures remained manageable, recently, this has changed. My seizures have increased to the point that we are now looking into surgical treatment methods. However, even if I find a way to control my seizures, that will not erase the social stigma that plagues this condition nor the effects epilepsy has on my family and friends. There is still hope, though, in raising awareness and increasing research for epilepsy. Starting with donating and/or attending the Arizona Epilepsy Walk, you can help bring recognition and change to the world of epilepsy. This attention to epilepsy can begin here, with you, today.

EPILEPSY

65 million people world-wide have epilepsy, of those one-third live with uncontrolled seizures because no available treatment works against their seizures.*

20 million people in the U.S. suffer from epilepsy.*

One-Third of people with epilepsy live with uncontrolled seizures.*

50 thousand people die in the U.S., every year, from epilepsy and epilepsy-related causes.**

Despite those daunting statistics, epilepsy remains widely misunderstood, underfunded, and stigmatized.  However, we can help bring illumination and change to the world of epilepsy.  Walk and/or donate to the Arizona Walk for Epilepsy.  All funds go to the Epilepsy Foundation.  See you at the Walk!
