As you may or may not know, my son Nicholas, now 7 years old suffers from epilepsy and Angelman Syndrome. I came into contact last year with CLAYTON'S HOPE.
An organization that was started by a mom who's perfectly normal son was stricken by the average cold/flu and became a victim of multiple seizures.
Here is the info about the walk and a link to their story!
In 2007 Clayton's sister decided that she would like to
start a walk, so that money could be raised for Epilepsy
Research. She named the walk "Steps for Seizures" and
that is how our event began.
Please join us as we walk...
For those that can't
and those that can
For those whose daily lives include seizures
and for those whose don't
but love someone whose does.
Mostly, so that together we can raise
much needed funding for Epilepsy Research!
