Winter Walk
The Winter Walk is an indoor 1-mile walk held annually at the SouthPark Mall in Strongsville. Community members, parents of children with epilepsy, and individuals affected by epilepsy come out to raise awareness and enjoy a morning of family-friendly entertainment and activities.
Many walkers form teams to celebrate someone in their lives with epilepsy. Recruit friends, family, and coworkers to walk with you or donate to your team to multiply your impact, and try to win a top team award!
We encourage everyone to wear purple, the color of epilepsy, to the event!
Tickets are $35 for adults, $25 for ages 5-17, and free for children 4 and under. Registration closes at noon on Friday, January 23rd. In-person registration at the event will cost an addition $5 per person.
Thank you 2026 Walkers!
This year, 364 people came out to raise epilepsy awareness, and we were able to raise $57,500 to support the Epilepsy Association’s free services! Plus, in 2026, we surpassed $1 million raised over the 21-year history of the Winter Walk!
Our Featured Family was the Vince family. They have been attending Winter Walk for seven years to celebrate their daughter Angelina, who has LGS. You can learn more about their epilepsy journey and awareness efforts here.
Check out photos of the Walk on our Facebook page! Find yourself and your family! And don’t forget to post your Winter Walk photos with #EAWinterWalk and tag the Epilepsy Association!
