Welcome to My Sharon's Ride.Run.Walk. San Diego Fundraising Page!
Sharon's Ride.Run.Walk San Diego is a 15-mile Bike Ride or 5K Run/Walk that is very important to me. I am raising money to help The Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County so they can provide wraparound support services and programs at no cost to individuals and families affected by epilepsy. Please help me support this cause and spread awareness for epilepsy.

- 1 in 10 people will have a seizure in their lifetime.
- 1 in 26 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy.
- 3.4 million people nationwide are affected by epilepsy.
- 50,000 San Diegans are living with epilepsy.
- Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological disorder and affects people of all ages.
- Epilepsy means the same thing as "seizure disorders."

Epilepsy is more than seizures. Every story matters in this fight. Here is my personal story of WHY this matters...
One of the very most important people in my life has epilepsy. The Epilepsy Foundation has been a great help to us, from advocacy in the school setting, to support groups, classes, counseling, and training. I support Epilepsy research and the foundation with all my heart. No gift is too small, please consider donating and sharing this page with others.
