Epilepsy Walk Los Angeles Postponed Until Fall 2025

Epilepsy Walk Los Angeles Postponed Until Fall 2025

The Epilepsy Foundation Los Angeles team, along with our board of directors, shares our deep sadness over the devastation caused by the January 2025 fires, which affected so many in the greater Los Angeles area. Family, friends, colleagues, classmates, and countless members of our own epilepsy community have been impacted, and the journey to recovery is just beginning.

In consideration of this, and out of great care and respect for everyone affected, as an organization we have made the difficult decision to postpone the Epilepsy Walk Los Angeles until Fall 2025.

While we won’t be gathering for the Epilepsy Walk until then, please know that the Epilepsy Foundation Los Angeles remains your partner in your epilepsy journey. From summer camps and support groups to education, training, and specialist referrals, we are committed to supporting and connecting with those impacted by epilepsy. We encourage you to reach out for assistance or to get involved in any of our programs.
