In the get help section the first on the left is "Find your local Epilepsy Foundation" Click it then type in your zip code. If there isn't one in your city then try working with people to get a walk going. Before EFA went nation wide we had walks here in Dallas. It took some time but DEA (Dallas Epilepsy Association) was formed. In the earl 1980's it got together with the EFA.If you want go to epichat and chat with them they may know more about the walks and where they will be. Or use the 24/7 help line. They have people there to answer questions of all kinds
