Description
Join us for our annual Seize the Moment 5K Fun Run/Walk to spread awareness as part of National Epilepsy Awareness month in November. Runners, families, strollers and dogs are all welcome! This year there is a course fit for everyone: a 3.1 mile run, a 3.1 mile walk, a 1-mile fun course, and introducing a 3.1 mile scenic TRAIL course! With your help, we can improve the lives of more than 130,000 children and adults in Central and South Texas and ensure that not another is moment lost to seizures.
Course Info
Runners enjoy a breathtaking 3.1 mile competitive chip timed run through San Antonio's 2nd Natural Park, Eisenhower Park.
Walkers enjoy a leisurely stroll while taking in the beautiful scenic views of San Antonio! You can chose from the 3.1 mile paved or trail route or take the shortcut 1 mile route.
Other Info
Event proceeds benefit the Epilepsy Foundation Central & South Texas, the only non-profit
organization solely dedicated to providing epilepsy services to
the more than 130,000 people in Central and South Texas who have been
diagnosed. Events fund programs
and services including indigent seizure clinics;
social case management; information & referral; outreach & support
services; individual, community, and professional education; employment
preparation services; and summer youth opportunities.
Why we need your help: -Every 4 minutes someone is diagnosed
with Epilepsy, affecting
over 3 million Americans of all ages more than multiple sclerosis, cerebral
palsy, muscular dystrophy, and Parkinsons disease combined!
-In 70% of the cases epilepsy
has no identifiable cause and 30%-40% of people with epilepsy are
severely affected and continue to have seizures despite treatment.
-When compared to fatalities from
Breast Cancer, about 10,000 more people will pass away this year
from seizures and related causes.
Your support will help us improve the lives of people with epilepsy, and most importantly will help individuals to not define their lives by their diagnosis; but to lead active, productive lives by ensuring that Not Another Moment is
Lost to Seizures.
