Bagels and coffee in the morning and a lunch is to be offered as well! All children with Dravet syndrome or epilepsy can register for free with a registered adult. Dravet Syndrome Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to aggressively raising research funds for Dravet syndrome and related conditions. Dravet Syndrome Foundation’s ability to fund research is due in large part to the generous support of individual donors and sponsors who believe in our mission. So much progress has been made over the past 10-20 years, but there is more to do! Dravet syndrome is a rare and catastrophic form of epilepsy beginning in childhood. Dravet Syndrome is associated with behavioral and developmental delays, sleeping difficulties, orthopedic conditions, sensory integration disorders, and more. People diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome also have a 15-20% chance of SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy). All registered participants will receive an event T-Shirt. All 5k participants will receive a participant medal. **Participants must register before August 11 to guarantee their event T-shirt.
