9th Annual Epilepsy Walk & Purple Picnic
May 16 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Free
Greenwich mom and daughter Danielle and Gabi Blaine, co-chairs of this year’s 9th annual Epilepsy Walk & Purple Picnic, invite everyone to come walk with them on Saturday, May 16, at Cove Island Park in Stamford. This family- and dog-friendly walk kicks off at 9:00 a.m. with on-site registration. Participation is free and open to the public and donations are appreciated. Following the walk, a fun “Purple Picnic” of boxed lunches will be provided. Purple is the advocacy color for epilepsy.
Epilepsy impacts more than 60,000 children and adults in Connecticut. One in 26 nationwide will develop epilepsy at some point in their lifetime. Epilepsy affects more Americans than multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and Parkinson’s disease combined. Despite advances in treatment, more than 30% of individuals continue to experience uncontrolled seizures even while on medication.
Those interested in participating in the Walk may register in advance at epilepsyct.com or in person Saturday morning at Cove Island Park. Learn more at http://www.epilepsyct.com
