Our Nick

We are walking in the Memory and to honour our son Nick, who passed away in his sleep on April 14, 2018 at only 19 years old due to SUDEP. We don't want any other families to go through what we have gone through. We need to STOP this deadly complication from Epilepsy. 💜

I walk for my granddaughter, Quinn

Quinn was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms at an early age which later developed into Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome. She is 8 years old and has had an amazing year! After many years of medication experiments, they finally have a combination that is helping. Seizures are the most controlled that they have ever been. She has exploded developmentally. Her communication is coming. Quinn is our hero!💜💜

Mighty Manny

We walk for Zay!

We walk for our son Zay, the strongest little fighter we know.

Walking in memory of Cam

A few days after his grade 8 grad, Cam died of SUDEP. Although I did not know Cam well, I knew his mom and how strong of a women she was to take care of Cam and her daughter who also has epilepsy. Cam had drug resistant epilepsy, multiple brain surgeries; he was such a brave boy. He went through things no one should have to go through. RIP Cam.
