 Arnold's Champion Walk of Courage   
 

Arnold's Champion Walk of Courage raised $2,228.00 for Epilepsy Durham Region.   Over a span of three days, Arnold walked 52km to support the organization.  Thank you Arnold for your extreme generosity, it is truly inspiring!   

With the help of 106 other participants, volunteers, and the kindness of those who pledged to the Walk of Courage, Epilepsy Durham Region was able to raise $8,207.75!  Apart from pledges raised, on Sunday, April 14th purple shirts were distinctly evident in the crowds at South Oshawa Community Centre generating awareness and increasing education on the number of individuals touched by epilepsy throughout Durham Region.  Thank you to all who made this possible.
