A Parkland senior will be honored at Broward Wak the Talk event in Hollywood. The Miami walk is set for April 2.

MIAMI – With COVID-19 forcing social distancing, nonprofits have had to find creative ways to fund raise and Epilepsy Florida is no exception. The organization, which is dedicated to supporting Floridians living with epilepsy and seizures, is hosting its first statewide virtual walk for Epilepsy. “Through this virtual walk, we remain committed to the epilepsy community of Florida, providing real help for individuals living with epilepsy, their families and caregivers," said Karen Basha Egozi, president and CEO of Epilepsy Florida. An award ceremony via Zoom will be held on May 31 to recognize the best statewide video and most spirited group. All funds raised through the virtual walk will be invested in Epilepsy Florida’s local area programs, as well as statewide advocacy and educational efforts.
