Lansing Stroll for Epilepsy

The Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan will hold its annual Lansing Stroll for Epilepsy Saturday morning (July 27) at Potter Park Zoo. The strolls, which take place throughout the state each summer, are the foundation’s biggest fundraising events, allowing it to continue to train school personnel on seizure first aid, host educational conferences, provide guidance and understanding to individuals affected by epilepsy through the Here for You Helpline and more.

Saturday’s event will begin with check-in and activities at 7:30 a.m., followed by an awards ceremony for the highest and best-dressed fundraisers at 8:30 a.m. The ceremony will also include live music, prizes and speeches by Michiganders personally affected by epilepsy. The 1-mile stroll will kick off after the ceremony concludes. A virtual stroll is also available for those who can’t make it in person.

All participants who arrive before 9 a.m. will receive free parking and complimentary same-day admittance to the zoo.

Pre-registration for both in-person and virtual attendees is open until 11:59 p.m. tonight (July 24). The cost is $30 for ages 12 and up, $20 for ages 2 to 11 and free for participants under 2. Registration will also be available on-site for an additional fee, as long as the event isn’t sold out. For more information and to pre-register, visit epilepsymichigan.org/stroll.
