Our first Stroll for Epilepsy! August 22, 2010

Filed under: Uncategorized — baileysworld @ 9:39 am

Each summer the MN Epilepsy Foundation holds their annual Stroll for Epilepsy. This year I decided to get a team together to participate. I was really touched by how much people donated and how willing people were to participate with my team. We ended up raising a total of $340 which was a lot more than I was expecting! We also had a team of 5 people to walk together. Hopefully we can keep doing this each year & keep raising more money for epilepsy research :)
