Based on new guidelines from the National Walk to End Epilepsy, there is NO FEE to register for any of our walk locations in Connecticut. However, every person regardless of age that is planning to walk with us must register!

We want all members of the community to walk with us, but we cannot host these events and provide the resources for the epilepsy community without your help. We encourage every walker to make a personal donation and commit to raising funds to help us support the epilepsy community.

Registered walkers who make a $50 donation will receive an official Walk to End Epilepsy t-shirt!

VIRTUAL WALK TO END EPILEPSY IN CONNECTICUT RAISES $67,000!

We are pleased to announce we had 300 participants walking virtually and raised $67,000 to support people with epilepsy in Connecticut!

While we are saddened we could not hold in-person walks this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was heartwarming to see the amount of support for this virtual event.

Thank you to all teams who utilized their fundraising pages to raise money for our cause. We truly appreciate your support!

We would also like to recognize Emma Borys from Team Class of 2020 for having the best “Why I Walk CT” video. Emma will also receive an Amazon gift card. Congratulations to all the winners!
