STOMP Out Epilepsy and SUDEP 5K – Louisiana

Join us at Ponchatoula Rec Park to STOMP Out Epilepsy and SUDEP at an Awareness Walk/Run. Funds raised through this event provide funding for fully-trained seizure-response dogs, life-saving movement monitors for those in need and grant wish trips to Epilepsy Awareness Expo and Day at Disneyland.

Fee guarantees an event t-shirt if registering before August 15, 2018. We always order extras, but after that, t-shirts and t-shirt sizes are subject to availability. Walk Day Registration is $35 Adult (13 and up) and $20 Children 7-12. No dogs/pets allowed, sorry. Service dogs welcomed and encouraged.

The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation grants comfort and hope to those affected by epilepsy through providing monitoring resources, vital information, and a safe haven for conversation and community. Our main goal is to raise awareness of SUDEP and to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and families living with epilepsy. We raise funds to provide education about SUDEP and to provide seizure response dog grants, (what we believe to be) lifesaving movement monitors that help to protect against SUDEP and grant wish trips to Epilepsy Awareness Day and Expo at Disneyland. We stay up-to-date on current trends in medical technology in order to be able to provide the most effective devices as they become available. We respect the value and quality of life of every person living with epilepsy. We are dedicated to providing opportunities that allow individuals and families greater independence, increased confidence, ability to enjoy social environments, and community understanding.
