We are Epilepsy Alliance Louisiana (EAL), the oldest epilepsy organization in the state, dedicated to supporting people living with epilepsy through direct services, education, and advocacy. Since 1977, we have provided essential community services across Louisiana, reaching thousands of individuals impacted by epilepsy. Our mission is to assist those affected by epilepsy within their communities by addressing the broad spectrum of challenges seizures can bring.
We are thrilled to bring the Seize the Day event back to Sugar Mill Pond for its second year on Saturday, April 12, 2025 as part of our statewide effort to support people with epilepsy. This year, we’ve made an important format change by focusing exclusively on the Warrior Walk — a 1-mile walk that celebrates the strength and courage of those affected by epilepsy.
This change allows us to concentrate on building community engagement and increasing epilepsy awareness in new areas. By simplifying the event format, we aim to create a more inclusive and accessible experience, ensuring that more people can participate and support our mission.
The Warrior Walk is more than just a walk; it’s a chance to come together as a community, raise vital funds for our programs and services, and spread awareness about epilepsy. By participating, you’ll be making a significant impact and helping us expand support and awareness across Louisiana.
Join us in Youngsville and be a part of this inspiring event. Register now and show your support for the epilepsy community!
