Epilepsy Blog Relay™: Living Well With Epilepsy Heads to DC with #EpilepsyButtons

This post is part of the Epilepsy Blog Relay™ which will run from March 1 to March 31, 2017. Follow along!

Jessica’s Story

On Saturday, March 25, I will head to Washington, D.C. to participate in the 11th Annual National Walk for Epilepsy. This will be my first time at the National Walk. I’m looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.

To celebrate the event I’ve created these fun buttons. One version reads, “I Am Living Well With Epilepsy.” The other reads, “I Love Someone Who Is Living Well With Epilepsy.” I will be giving these away to participants at the walk in DC.

#EpilepsyButtons

Participants can find the buttons for FREE in the Walkers Village. Be sure to stop by the table to pick up a button or two. Then share a picture of yourself or your loved one wearing the pin. Be sure to use the hashtag #EpilepsyButtons when you post your photos. We want to see them all! I can’t wait to see everyone sporting these fun pins.

Not attending the walk?

Of course, not everyone can travel to the National Walk in DC, and several readers have asked how to order the buttons. If you are interested in ordering pins, you can use the form below. I’ll begin fulfilling orders as soon as I get back from DC!
