National Epilepsy Walk

Today was the 4th Annual National Walk for Epilepsy in Washington, DC. Many supporters were out to raise funds for the more than 3 million Americans suffering from epilepsy via this walk sponsored by the Epilepsy Foundation of America.

According to the Epilepsy Foundation of America, epilepsy is a physical condition that occurs when there is a sudden, brief change in how the brain works. When brain cells are not working properly, a person's consciousness, movement, or actions may be altered for a short time. These physical changes are called epileptic seizures. Epilepsy is therefore sometimes called a seizure disorder. Epilepsy affects people in all nations and of all races.

I was not the only titleholder participating in this walk...Ms. Latina Galaxy, Yolanda Makle, also was on hand for the walk.
