The annual Arizona Epilepsy Walks are just around the corner and the EFAZ would like to thank all our Team Captains, walkers, sponsors and volunteers for your support of the Arizona Epilepsy Walks this year and encourage you to all keep up the good work!
Tucson Epilepsy Walk
The Tucson Epilepsy Walk will take place on Saturday March 20, 2010 at the University of Arizona Mall. We’re pleased to announce that Foundation Board members David Labiner and Board President Doug Mance have agreed to serve as co-chairs for this upcoming year. We asked Doug to share his thoughts on chairing this event:
“From personal experience, as a parent of a daughter with epilepsy and as somebody who has helped the Epilepsy Foundation of Arizona support many other families, I have witnessed the many struggles associated with epilepsy. I believe that the challenges that lie ahead can serve to bring families, friends and communities closer together as we combine our efforts to fulfill the Epilepsy Foundation of Arizona’s mission to cope with epilepsy and to work towards prevention of seizure disorders.”
The Phoenix Epilepsy Walk will once again take place at the Phoenix Zoo on Saturday, April 10, 2010. We’re please to welcome Walk Chair Steve Cordova, Director of Administration at Barrow Neurological Institute, to the Foundation family.
“I am honored to serve as Chair of the 2010 Epilepsy Walk. This spring event is an opportunity for the Phoenix community to learn more about epilepsy and the effect it has on family, friends, co-workers and all who have crossed paths with someone with a seizure disorder. Epilepsy can affect anyone and in my time at Barrow Neurological Institute, I have witnessed the struggles faced by families with epilepsy. Advances in neurology and technology are important to the Foundation’s commitment to improving the quality of life of people effected by epilepsy and it is my goal to help the Foundation achieve its’ mission.”
