50 Million Steps for Epilepsy
4 January, 2021
50 million people worldwide are affected by epilepsy. Join the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) in walking #50MillionSteps!
Starting Monday, January 4th and ending on International Epilepsy Day – Monday February 8th – the IBE encourages everyone to walk to raise awareness, improve visibility, and increase understanding of epilepsy.
Walk with the IBE and add your steps to the grand total!
Record your steps and get additional resources and information at the campaign website, 50millionsteps.org
Raise funds
Your walk could also be an opportunity to raise vital funds for your local or national epilepsy support association! Why not aim to raise $1 for every 1,000 steps you take?
You can donate directly to your local epilepsy group, or choose one of the many associations listed on the 50millionsteps.org website, from across the world.

Share your video clips on social media with the #50MillionSteps hashtag before International Epilepsy Day (8 February) for a chance to win one of four $250 prizes! Prizes will be awarded for best baby steps, best pet steps, silliest steps and best dance steps.
