The #50MillionSteps campaign is back!
The 50 Million Steps for Epilepsy campaign launched in 2021, with great success. Our target of seeing a step taken for each person living with epilepsy in the world was smashed, with almost 165,000,000 steps achieved!
Let’s take our awareness raising even further in 2022!!
Starting today, Monday, January 10 and ending on International Epilepsy Day – Monday February 14, we’re walking to raise awareness, improve visibility and increase understanding of epilepsy.
Your walk could also be an opportunity to raise vital funds for your local or national epilepsy support association! Why not aim to raise $1 for every 1,000 steps you take? You can donate directly to any of the many associations listed on the 50MillionSteps.org website, from across the world.
Will you walk with us and add your steps to our grand total?
You can add your steps using the Step Counter on the 50MillionSteps.org website homepage.
