Metro Detroit Stroll for Epilepsy™

The Stroll for Epilepsy™ is an inspirational event that unites the epilepsy community across the state to fight the challenges of living with epilepsy including stigma, SUDEP, misdiagnosis, treatment gaps, loss of employment, discrimination, and isolation. As the Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan’s largest fundraising event, the Stroll for Epilepsy™ increases awareness and provides vital support in the fight against epilepsy. Participants are invited to join us on this one-mile leisurely walk, and participate in other activities and event fun. This year, the Metro Detroit Stroll for Epilepsy™ will be held on Saturday, June 15 at 7:30am at the Detroit Zoo. We are excited to gather in-person this year, but those who cannot attend in-person can still participate virtually. All participants will have the opportunity to hear personal stories of those affected by epilepsy, fundraise, earn prizes, and make a difference in the lives of those living with epilepsy! The Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan leads the fight to overcome the challenges of living with epilepsy and to accelerate therapies to stop seizures, find cures, and save lives. Funds raised through the Stroll for Epilepsy™ will benefit the Foundation’s state-wide initiatives, making it possible for the Foundation to train school personnel on seizure first aid, host educational conferences, provide guidance and understanding to individuals affected by epilepsy through the Here for You Helpline, and more! Online pre-registration for the Metro Detroit Stroll for Epilepsy™ is available until June 12 at 11:59PM. Day-of registration is available for in-person participants who miss the deadline for an additional fee, as long as the Stroll is not sold out. Parking will open at 7:00am and participants must arrive before 8:30am to receive free parking and complementary admittance into the zoo.
