Stepping out
for a cause
Our efforts to support the entire epilepsy community also include raising money for a good cause.
Through the Charity Miles app, every time someone tracks an activity such as biking, dancing, running, or walking, money will be donated to the Epilepsy Foundation. Share your progress on social media to raise awareness among your friends and family, so they may help the epilepsy community strive for the goal of zero seizures.
You have the resources to take STEPS Toward Zero, now you can start getting your steps in for a good cause.

Tell us, what does zero equal for you?
For some, it’s pursuing new relationships. For others, it’s going on their dream vacation. We want you to share what zero equals for you on social media, using #STEPSTowardZero.
For every response, SK life science will donate $1 to the Epilepsy Foundation (up to $15,000).
WHAT DOES ZERO EQUAL FOR YOU?
Start with s.t.e.p.s.
S.T.E.P.S. is a Discussion Guide for people with epilepsy, designed to focus on your Seizure Activity, Treatments, Emotional Impact, Personal Goals, and Safety.
By carefully thinking about each one of these categories and bringing any concerns about your current treatment routine to your doctor, you’re at the starting line to step toward zero.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
When it comes to understanding epilepsy, it's important to know that everyone's journey is unique. Writing down the details of your seizures can give you the chance to discover patterns, learn your triggers, and take that information to your doctor. Together, you can see how well your current treatment is working.
We got together with a couple of people in the epilepsy community and created a journal designed to benefit as many people as possible, and we’d love to share it with you.
Sign up to receivea journal
If you like to keep things digital, we’ve also found a few apps that we think you’ll really like. Either way, when you track your seizures through journaling, you’ll be taking steps to make your next visit with your doctor more successful.
