Event Type

In partnership with Young Adults with Epilepsy, we are proud to present the 3rd Annual Monterey Walk for Epilepsy! Our organizations connect more than 180K people living with epilepsy to life-changing programs and resources.

 

Epilepsy affects more people than MS, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and Parkinson’s Disease COMBINED-–and claims more lives than breast cancer each year. Historical stigma and discrimination of people living with epilepsy have led to a lack of funding and awareness, even though 65 million people live with epilepsy worldwide.

Let’s change these numbers.

Monterey Walk for Epilepsy will create epilepsy visibility by gathering as a community in Monterey County. Together, let’s walk for epilepsy and take vital steps towards change. The walk will be a total of 2 miles long (to Lake El Estero).
