Greetings Epilepsy Community,
Summer is here and brings many things to appreciate and enjoy. The weather is warmer, students are completing their school year, graduation ceremonies are taking place, and many CURE Epilepsy Champions hold their events. These Champions are working on events across the United States, rallying their professional networks, friends, family members, and local businesses to help increase epilepsy awareness and raise money for critical epilepsy research. In honor of CURE Epilepsy’s 25th anniversary, we have created the 2023 Champion Challenge, where we are challenging our existing and new Champions to raise a total of $425,000 this year. We are currently at just over $270,000 (well over halfway to our goal)!
I am honored to lead an organization that has so many dedicated community members who are focused on making our goal of a world without epilepsy a reality. We’ve already seen some creative CURE Epilepsy Champion events this year including a 40-mile bike tour, partnering with a local Massachusetts brewery for a month, the second annual Mansfield Walk to CURE Epilepsy (focused on SUDEP awareness), EpiPalooza (a multi-concert performance focused on epilepsy awareness), and the 10th annual 5K Strides for Epilepsy in Maryland (the longest running CURE Epilepsy Champion event)! Coming up this summer we still have plenty of Champion events including the annual Ella’s Race in Illinois, an EpiPalooza concert in North Carolina, and more. If you are interested in hosting a Champion event of your own, you can learn more about how to do so here.
With a commitment to inspire hope and deliver impact,
