Today’s Photo: Raising Epilepsy Awareness on the National Mall

Summer is here, and that means there are disease-related walk/run events happening all around the country!

For inspiration, please meet epilepsy patient Monica (second from right), who led a PatientsLikeMeInMotion-sponsored team at the National Walk for Epilepsy in Washington, DC.  Held on March 31, 2012, the two-mile walk occurred between Madison and Jefferson Drives on DC’s famous National Mall.  “I do a lot of fundraising on my Facebook page, so my friends and family all know I have epilepsy,” says Monica.

Congrats to Monica and all of our PatientsLikeMeInMotion-sponsored teams for your efforts to raise funds and awareness for your condition. We’re honored to support you every step of the way.  For more PatientsLikeMeInMotion team photos, check out our growing Flickr collection.

  1. Congratulations Monica, for doing the walk for not just yourself, but for all of those, including myself with the condition that affects us all. Smiles all around :)
