Empowerment Forums following the Walk
 New this Year! One of the goals of the Walk is to create greater awareness of epilepsy and help those who have epilepsy improve their quality of life.
Three special empowerment forums took place following the Walk. The forums provided information about ways to live better with epilepsy and were geared for specific audiences--teens with epilepsy, adults with epilepsy and parents and caregivers of people with epilepsy. >>Learn more
