Freedom Run for Epilepsy Awareness
About this race
💜Join Us for the Freedom Run/Walk – A Celebration of Strength, Hope & Seizure Freedom!
The Epilepsy Foundation of Hawai‘i’s annual Freedom Run/Walk brings together families, friends, and community members to raise awareness and support those impacted by epilepsy.
Freedom means freedom from stigma and fear around seizures — and we’re running (and walking!) together for a more informed, inclusive Hawai‘i.
