This is our nephew Jackson. He first started having seizures when he was 14 months old and was diagnosed with epilepsy in the form of infantile spasms when he was 16 months. When Jackson was 2, he was diagnosed with Lennox Gaustaut Syndrome (LGS). LGS is a rare form of epilepsy that affects about 4% of those with epilepsy. Jackson still has seizures daily. He has severe developmental delays that include being non-verbal which present challenges everyday. We are so excited that he is getting a service dog at the beginning of July! Please join our team to walk for Epilepsy!! Let’s raise awareness and fight for a cure! If you have any questions please contact Katie or Tim Roos.

About this Event

Katie Roos

1 in 26 Americans will develop epilepsy in their lifetime - WILL YOU WALK FOR ONE?

Saturday, July 28, 2018 through Saturday, July 28, 2018

Will you walk for one?

This summer, more than 2,500 people throughout Pennsylvania will join  Epilepsy Western/Central Pennsylvania (EFWCP) for run/walk events in Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Johnstown, and Erie. Money raised at these events support your friends and neighbors who are living with epilepsy and seizures.

Join us on Saturday, July 28th at PNC Park for the 30th Annual Pittsburgh Family Fun Run/Walk. The 5k run/2 mile walk course starts at PNC Park, circles Heinz Field, and follows the picturesque Three Rivers Heritage Trail back to Federal Street. After the run/walk, participants are invited to a one-of-a-kind tailgate party on the Roberto Clemente Bridge.

All participants can earn incentive prizes based on the amount they raise!
