Epilepsy Foundation NW just announced June 19th for the annual run/walk. As most of you know, last year we came in second place in total donations but first place in total individual contributions. Although, I think we did end up taking first place when the race was over as we had donations continue to stream into the website for about 2 months after the event. This year, let's make it official! Noah's Noggin will be number one.
It has been a rough year. Our struggles and our ongoing fight have been well documented on this blog. This year though (cliche alert!), it's personal. Epilepsy has affected us more than we ever thought it would. So it is with a smile on my face and pure joy in my heart that I say "GAME ON!" Let's break records, lets support an organization that does so much for the greater Epilepsy community. Let's scream to the sky that you are not alone. Epilepsy affects over 3 million Americans of all ages – more than multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and Parkinson’s disease combined. Almost 500 new cases of epilepsy are diagnosed every day in the United States. Epilepsy affects 50,000,000 people worldwide (cureepilepsy.org). Help is needed. You are needed. Team Noah's Noggin needs you.
As soon as the link to register is released I will update all readers. Thank you in advance for everything I know you will do to make this the best year for the Noggin yet.
READY? SET? GO!
Best,
G
Bring it on....oma
