Greater Chicago Epilepsy Walk
The Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago's 2010 Greater Chicago Epilepsy Walk will take place on Saturday, May 8 in Wheaton's Danada Forest Preserve, and on Saturday, May 15 in Chicago's Lincoln Park.
Nearly 2,000 people from across the Chicago area are expected to take part in this year's Walk—our tenth annual event. Proceeds from the 5K (3.1 mile) Walks will help fund epilepsy support and education throughout the Chicago area. The Wheaton Walk starts on the Exercise Track at Danada Forest Preserve. The Lincoln Park Walk starts at Picnic Grove #2 at the south end of Lincoln Park. Both Walks begin at 9:30 am, with participant check-in starting at 8:00 am. In addition to the Walk, each mornings' activities will include
refreshments and family friendly entertainment.
