Welcome to My Sharon's Ride.Run.Walk. San Diego Fundraising Page!
Epilepsy is more than seizures. As many of you know, my little sister, Emily, has been bravely living with epilepsy. It's a journey that has shown us her inspiring resilience and strength. Since a young age I have seen up close how Epilepsy affects not only those who live with it, but their families, friends and communities. This year, we have an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those affected by epilepsy, and I'm reaching out to ask for your support. Any donation amount helps and I'd love for you to join us to bike, run or walk the 5K on April 21st at Crown Point, Mission Bay, San Diego!
Sharon's Ride.Run.Walk San Diego is a 15-mile Bike Ride or 5K Run/Walk that is very important to me. I am raising money to help The Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County so they can provide wraparound support services and programs at no cost to individuals and families affected by epilepsy. Please help me support this cause and spread awareness for epilepsy.
