Welcome to My Sharon's Ride.Run.Walk. for Epilepsy Fundraising Page!
Sharon's Ride.Run.Walk San Diego is a 15-mile Bike Ride or 5K Run/Walk that brings our community together to educate, spread awareness and make a difference for the people who live with epilepsy. I am raising money to help the Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County so they can continue to offer the free programs and services to the more than 50,000 people in San Diego County affected by epilepsy as well as their families, friends and caregivers. Some of their free programs and services include individual and family counseling, support groups, career development, advocacy, information and referrals, college scholarship, targeted programming for pre-teens, teens and young adults and specialized programs with medical experts throughout the year.
Please help me support this cause - PLEASE DONATE.
