Registration opens on International Epilepsy Awareness Day, 12pm, Tuesday, February 14, 2023.
Hosted by EFSDC each Spring, Sharon’s Ride.Run.Walk. is our annual outdoor community event that brings our community together to get active, educate, spread awareness and make a difference for the people we love who live with epilepsy. These nationwide events are dedicated to the memory of Sharon Rosenfeld, a nurse and teacher who cared deeply about epilepsy and advocated for helmet safety.Â
Register today to ride, run, walk and fundraise with us for epilepsy
Register to join us in person or virtually for only $45 through March 31! After that, registration becomes $50.
Over 1000 members of our San Diego epilepsy community and allies joined us in 2024 for one of our largest fundraising events of the year. Our hope is to have as many or more join us in person or virtually this year.Â
Registrations and fundraising are key: When the average cost of care for a person living with epilepsy in the U.S. can be as high as $20,000/year, each person who fundraises for Sharon’s Ride.Run.Walk. helps us continue to offer monthly support groups, school nurse trainings, seizure first aid trainings, neurologist referrals and more at no cost to families and individuals in San Diego impacted by epilepsy.
“We are grateful. We are grateful for our family, our friends and our faith which have all helped us on this journey,” shared Kathryn Sievert, EFSDC community member, parent of a child with epilepsy and captain of Team Micah, a group that has consistently participated in Sharon’s Ride.Run.Walk. in San Diego. “Some days have been better than others. Some days Micah still has seizures. But we walk. We walk for awareness and education. We walk because we will always fight. We will always make sure he knows he is more than his diagnosis. He is our superhero!”
Join us in getting active for epilepsy! Register today to join us in person or virtually on Sunday, April 13.
