Event summary

Join us for the Walk to End Epilepsy - Bennett's Brigade on Sunday, June 4, 2023, in the picturesque setting of Mountain Lakes, Morris. This uplifting event aims to raise awareness for epilepsy, a serious brain disorder that affects 1 in 26 people in the U.S. Participants can choose to walk a scenic 2.6 miles in person, starting from St. Catherine's Church, or opt for a virtual walk at their own pace, anytime before the event date. Whether you walk on a trail, treadmill, or around your neighborhood, your participation supports the Epilepsy Foundation's vital work in research, education, and advocacy.

The walk kicks off at 9:00 AM and runs until noon, rain or shine! As you stroll through the beautiful surroundings of Mountain Lakes, enjoy refreshments and bagels at the finish line. We encourage all participants to wear purple to show solidarity for epilepsy awareness. A donation of $30 is requested to join in this meaningful cause, which is especially close to our hearts as we honor our son Bennett, who was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2019. Together, let's make a difference and spread hope for those affected by epilepsy!

Organiser's description

Epilepsy is the most common, serious brain disorder worldwide with no age, racial, social class, national or geographic boundaries.

1 in 26 people in the U.S. will develop epilepsy at some point in their lives.

Each year, there are 150,000 new cases of epilepsy diagnosed.

I am hosting a fundraiser to benefit the Epilepsy Foundation and spreading awareness to make a difference for those living with epilepsy everywhere. Please join us for a live (in person) 2.6 mile walk _OR_ or you can walk your way virtually. What is a virtual walk? A virtual walk is a walk that can be done on the road, trail, treadmill. You get to walk at your own pace, on your own, at any time you wish before 6/4/22.
