Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page! I recently registered to participate in the 2023 Race the River run to benefit the Epilepsy Association. This race has been present in Northeast Ohio for 10 years, and its strong community presence has gathered hundred of participants annually!
My personal connection to the cause is what is motivating me to challenge myself with this race and to reach my own fundraising goal by race day on September 17, 2023, but I need your help! By supporting me in this important fundraiser you are helping the over 63,000 individuals who are living with epilepsy in our Northeast Ohio communities.
One in 10 Americans have had or will have a seizure at some point in their lives and 3 million Americans have
some form of epilepsy. That’s more than Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy and Parkinson’s disease combined and 500 new cases of epilepsy are diagnosed every day in the United States. Yet epilepsy still doesn’t get the public attention it deserves. I think it is because epilepsy is a hidden condition, and lack of knowledge about seizure disorders has led to many stereotypes. I need your help to bring this condition out of the shadows. If everyone can just work together, I know the impact can be enormous! That is why I am doing my part and have registered to race and fundraiser for the 2023 Race the River event.
Please consider contributing and supporting me to reach my fundraising goal by donating through my personal page. Making a donation is easy and safe. All proceeds raised stay in the Northeast Ohio community to help those with seizure disorders. It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause by making your tax-deductible donation online, but if you prefer, you can mail your contribution to the address listed below. Just make sure to mention your donation is in honor of my efforts to help raise epilepsy awareness! Whatever you can give will help – it all adds up!
I greatly appreciate your kindness. Make sure you check back to see my progress! Thank you for your support!
The Epilepsy Association is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals affected by seizure disorders in Northeast Ohio. All funds raised will support social services and programs to raise awareness about epilepsy.
