Pull Together For Epilepsy 2016

Donation protected
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Brain cells communicate with each other by means of tiny bursts of electrical activity. Sometimes a group of brain cells has an unexpected, erratic electrical discharge. This event produces a seizure. Someone who has multiple seizures is said to have epilepsy, which is defined as a functional disorder of the brain caused by sudden, brief malfunctions. These malfunctions may cause uncontrollable shaking (convulsions). They may also cause loss of awareness, confusion or even disturbance of the senses (visual and aural hallucinations, phantom odours, etc.).
Epilepsy is NOT a psychological disorder; it is NOT contagious.
Approximately one person in one hundred has epilepsy. In Canada, there are 330,000 people with epilepsy.

My team will be attending this years "Pull Together For Epilepsy" Event on July 17th.

Please help me and my team raise awarness to those who suffer with Epilepsy with a goal of raising funds and awareness.

All profits from the event will be used for support, education and awareness for over 3,000 people affected by epilepsy in South Eastern Ontario.

This is close to my heart as I have a family member who suffers from this neurological disorder.  So please find it in your heart to help me and my team raise awarness
