Sharon's Ride.Run.Walk. 2024

Welcome to My Sharon's Ride.Run.Walk. San Diego Fundraising Page!

Sharon's Ride.Run.Walk San Diego is a 15-mile Bike Ride or 5K Run/Walk that is very important to me.  I am raising money to help The Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County so they can provide wraparound support services and programs at no cost to individuals and families affected by epilepsy.  Please help me support this cause and spread awareness for epilepsy.

• 1 in 10 people will have a seizure in their lifetime.

• 50,000 San Diegans are living with epilepsy.
• Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological disorder and affects people of all ages.
• Epilepsy means the same thing as "seizure disorders."
• Epilepsy is characterized by unpredictable seizures and can cause other health problems.
• Epilepsy is a spectrum condition with a wide range of seizure types and control varying from person-to-person.
• Public misunderstandings of epilepsy cause challenges that are often worse than the seizures.

Epilepsy is more than seizures.  Every story matters in this fight.  Here is my personal story of WHY this matters...
