Why We Walk:

Charlie is our sweet, energetic 4-year-old who loves trains, monster trucks, and Hot Wheels. At just 6 months old, he was diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome—a rare and severe form of epilepsy with no cure.

He’s faced daily challenges: frequent seizures, ambulance rides, emergency medications, hospital stays, and constant therapies. Despite being on three daily medications and a strict medical diet, he still experiences 6–10 seizures every month.

Through it all, Charlie’s smile never fades. He’s the heart of our family and our biggest hero. 💜

We’ve seen incredible progress in Dravet research over the past decade, but there’s still a long way to go. Your support—whether by walking, running, donating, or spreading the word—makes a real difference.

Hope to see you there!
