Epilepsy Freedom Walk 2010

In just a couple of weeks, my sweet girl and I will be walking in our very first walk for Epilepsy.  This in itself is a huge stride.  We have gone through quite a bit this year.  Meds were not working properly, seizures were still happening quite frequently and my girl was always tired because of all of the change going on in her body.  We have recently celebrated one year with epilepsy, I know it sounds silly to celebrate living one year with a disease but we are excited.  She could be in a hospital bed or a wheelchair, she could be having seizures that could keep her from living a normal life, but just one year into it, we are starting to get the hang of things.  We do still have our small set-backs but she is living a normal life, as normal as it could be.  And she is so excited to walk for Epilepsy!  She is even more excited that she can get sponsors to sponsor her in her walk.  And that money that is donated will be used to help find a cure so that not another moment is lost to seizures.  One day children will not have to worry about being around loud sounds, or seeing flashing lights or wondering if they will have a seizure in front of kids who will wonder why "that kid is so weird".  I know that for some it is a tough time financially, but if you have anything to spare, we would forever be grateful and you would have the satisfaction knowing that you are helping a wonderful cause and wonderful children.  If you can donate, you can go to www.EpilepsyFreedomWalk.org and sponsor a walker, look it up under Cassidy Hall.  And if you cannot donate financially but live in the Southern California area, come and walk with us on October 17!!!  All ages are welcome and you can register at the same website.  It will be a great time!!!!  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  Lets make this event extraordinary!!!!!
