Volunteer
Volunteers will be a part of the National Walk for Epilepsy experience by making sure the day is a huge success. Volunteers, while not walking, will help welcome all the walkers, participate in making sure the walkers are safe and comfortable, and help with the pre-walk rally and post-walk celebrations.
