Fighting the coronavirus has forced people across the world to change
things about how we live our lives. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
and our PA Department of Health continue to recommend staying home
and maintaining physical distance from other people to slow the spread
of the virus.
In order to keep the epilepsy community safe, we have made the difficult
decision to turn the 2020 Pittsburgh Family Fun Run/Walk for Epilepsy
and Harrisburg Senators Family Fun Run/Walk for Epilepsy into virtual
walks. Highmark has also decided to convert its Highmark Walks for a
Healthy Community into virtual walks.
We encourage you to get creative this year - it’s your chance to bring
awareness to your community! Will you walk through the streets of your
neighborhood with an epilepsy awareness sign? Will you use social media
as a way to encourage friends and family to not only donate, but join your
team and raise money to support epilepsy programs and services too?
Share with us how you are coming together to support epilepsy
awareness by sending photos and video to staff@eawcp.org. We would
love to showcase all of your incredible efforts on our social media pages!
