Walk to raise awareness about epilepsy

by

In a few weeks on Aug. 28, the Iowa Walk for Epilepsy will kick off at 8 a.m. at Merle Hay Mall. You should sign up, organize a team, donate or spread the word! DMU is a proud sponsor of the event and hopes it brings awareness to the struggle many people with epilepsy have. It’s FREE to walk. The idea is for you to collect donations &/or just participate to raise awareness!

If you’re not free that day & don’t have a dime to spare, at least take a moment to learn more about epilepsy.

    I do appreciate the effort of organizing a rally to raise awareness among the masses about Epilepsy. I also congratulate DMU for being a part of this event. I hope this program will be able to resolve all the questions regarding epilepsy.
