MIDDLETOWN — Area residents are invited to show their support for epilepsy awareness and the Middletown-based Epilepsy Foundation of Connecticut by participating in the National Walk to End Epilepsy May 9, being held for the first time locally at the Wadsworth Mansion.
In all, there are 36,000 individuals living with epilepsy in Connecticut, according to Executive Director Linda Wallace. “Despite the pandemic, seizures haven’t stopped … and neither has the fight to end epilepsy,” she said in a prepared statement.
