What an incredible day in Madison. 💜

This year’s Madison Walk for Epilepsy was one of our largest yet, with 158 participants coming together in support of the epilepsy community — and together, we raised more than $26,000 to help support programs and services across Wisconsin, including seizure first aid training, youth camps, adult retreats, support programs, education, advocacy, and outreach for individuals and families impacted by epilepsy.

To every walker, donor, volunteer, sponsor, team captain, and supporter: thank you. Thank you for showing up, sharing your stories, supporting your loved ones, and helping create a community where no one feels alone.

The energy, connection, and support felt throughout the day was truly something special, and we are so grateful to everyone who made it possible.

Thank you, Madison. We already can’t wait for next year. 💜
