CHARLOTTE — November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month.
On Sunday, more than 300 people came out to support epilepsy research, therapy and seizure education.
The Walk for Epilepsy took place at McAlpine Creek Park in east Charlotte.
It benefits the Epilepsy Foundation.
Organizers say it’s all about raising awareness for Charlotte’s epileptic community.
“There’s more people than you realize who are living with epilepsy, and some of that is because a lot of people don’t talk about it,” one organizer said. “But when they come here to this walk, they are connected by community.”
Channel 9’s Gina Esposito was also the emcee for Sunday’s event.
