Emerald Miles 2006: Make A Difference

The time is now! The Epilepsy Foundation will host it’s 6th annual Emerald Miles Run/Walk on March 11, 2006, at 10:00 am, beginning and ending at Newport on the Levee.

This annual event remembers the life of Dennis Stemler and works for a brighter future for all people with epilepsy. Dennis was an energetic, caring young adult who found joy in living. He never let life get him down, but always reached for the stars as he overcame the many struggles associated with epilepsy. He took part in the Epilepsy Foundation’s camp and support group, was active in his high school and ran on both his school’s team and in this race.  On February 24, 2004, Dennis died unexpectedly from a seizure. His death had a profound effect on the community. Hundreds of family, friends and classmates joined together to celebrate Dennis’ life by participating in this event.

We invite you to also celebrate the lives of those with epilepsy by joining in this event. Proceeds will benefit Camp Dream Catcher, a unique program providing children with epilepsy the opportunity to learn new skills, build self-confidence and self-esteem, make new friends and create lasting memories in a week-long or weekend session.

Together, we can make a difference for people with epilepsy!
