Walk for Epilepsy
What is the Walk for Epilepsy?
Each year, this event brings 500+ people with epilepsy and their family members together.
The EFNENY Walk for Epilepsy is a great way to educate people on what epilepsy is and learn about the challenges people with epilepsy face every day. The funds raised at this event will be used to support the programs and services we offer at no cost to an estimated 45,000 people with epilepsy and their families who live in our 22-county service area.
Every step makes a difference.
Join us at one of the three 2025 walk locations and inspire awareness, advocacy, and action. Your footsteps drive change for the 45,000 people in Northeastern New York living with epilepsy.
