Will you take part in our September Walking challenge in support of people living with epilepsy across Ireland?
The challenge is simple! You can aim to walk 45,60 or 100 miles across the month of September – or set your own target!
You can take part in the challenge as an individual – or get friends, family and colleagues involved in the challenge by taking part as a team!
No matter the distance, by taking part, every step you take across the month to reach your target will help raise awareness of epilepsy and encourage support for the work of Epilepsy Ireland.
Upon registration for the challenge, participants will have a fundraising page automatically created, and you will receive a fundraising pack from our team. You will also be invited to join the September Walking Challenge’s Facebook group – where you can share your progress with fellow participants and support each other as you get your steps in for epilepsy awareness and Epilepsy Ireland!
Every euro raised as part of the challenge will help support our journey towards a society where no person’s life is limited by epilepsy – by continuing our:
- Support and Information services
- Training and Education programmes
- Awareness and Advocacy campaigns
- Investment in Irish epilepsy research
Our services are depended on by people living with epilepsy and their families across Ireland – as the below quote given to our annual Epilepsy Ireland Satisfaction survey shows
My son was diagnosed and medicated at 4. We had almost a full year seizure free when he had another seizure. At this stage he had started Junior Infants and I didn't know how to handle getting the correct info to the school. I spoke with my CRO and she was incredible. I felt like a tonne of bricks was lifted from my shoulders. She listened, made me feel truly heard and validated all my feelings. I had been really struggling and she assured me that it was ok to feel that way. She also gave me tips on what to say to the school and even offered to come visit the teachers if necessary.
