I’m taking part in Walk for Epilepsy because...

I’m proud to be taking part in this walk for people living with epilepsy—something that hits close to home for me. Having family members and friends who live with epilepsy, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply it affects not only those who experience seizures, but also the people around them.Epilepsy is more than just the seizures—it’s the uncertainty, the stigma, the exhaustion, and sometimes, the fear. But it’s also about strength, resilience, and the support we can offer each other.I’m walking to raise awareness, to push for more understanding, and to help others learn how to respond if they ever witness someone having a seizure. A calm, informed response can make a massive difference.This walk is a small step in the right direction—but together, every step helps bring epilepsy out of the shadows.
