#WalkToEndEpilepsy

The Walk to END EPILEPSY® is growing in Oklahoma each year and we couldn’t do it without you! These Walks bring the epilepsy community together to show the world the importance of raising much needed funds and awareness about epilepsy.

- Provides awareness programs for proper seizure recognition and first aid
- Support transportation to and from the neurologist and the pharmacy to pick up medications
- Helps with medication assistance
- Provides a voice to make sure health care options for people living with seizures remain strong
- Povides much needed research funding toward better treatment options and ultimately a cure.
