“We’re so excited to be hosting our Walk to END Epilepsy at beautiful Parc Sans Souci this year,” said Epilepsy Foundation Louisiana Executive Director Jeremiah Stone. “Participating in these walks is one of the best ways to show support for the community, advocate for family and friends, and create awareness so no one faces epilepsy alone.”
The walk is a free event, but fundraising is what makes programs and resources available to Louisianians with epilepsy.

About Epilepsy
According to the World Health Organization, epilepsy is the most common serious brain disorder worldwide with no age, racial, social class, national or geographic boundaries. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) estimates that 3.4 million people in the United States are affected by epilepsy. It is the underlying tendency of the brain to produce seizures which are sudden abnormal bursts of electrical energy that disrupt brain functions.
