5K Run/Funwalk for Epilepsy Awareness
The 5K Run/Funwalk for Epilepsy Awareness takes place in Buffalo, New York, starting at 2 Nottingham Terrace. This event is organized to honor the memory of Maggie Lee, a former counselor at the Epilepsy Association of WNY and a community activist who lived with epilepsy. The gathering serves to raise visibility for epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurring seizures that affects approximately one out of every 100 people in the Western New York region.
Participants can choose from the following activities:
- 5K Run
- Fun Walk
The event supports the mission of the Epilepsy Association of WNY. This organization works to assist individuals living with epilepsy in leading more independent and productive lives. Funds generated through participant registration fees contribute directly to the association's community outreach, public awareness campaigns, and various educational programs. Registration is open to the public with a set fee for both the running and walking categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
