Who is Sharon?

Sharon's Ride, Run & Walk for Epilepsy
is dedicated to Sharon Rosenfeld, a nurse and teacher, who cared deeply about epilepsy and advocated helmet safety.  She was killed on a cross country bicycle ride in 1993.  Dr. William Rosenfeld and Dr. Susan Lippmann, neurologists who specialize in epilepsy, created the event to honor the memory of Dr. Rosenfeld's sister.

Why Sharon's Ride. Run. Walk?
All money raised goes directly to the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Southern Illinois.  When you join us in Sharon's Ride, Run & Walk for Epilepsy, you're helping to raise the quality of life for people with epilepsy as well as educating the community concerning the importance of wearing a helmet.

Ride...
Strap on your helmet, hop on your bike and ride for the fun of it!  Ride for 20 miles starting at Parking Lot A, proceeding to MCT bluff trails - MCT nature trails to Horseshoe State Park and back to Parking Lot A.  Help make a difference for people in your community living with epilepsy!

Run...
Put on your jogging shoes for a 5K run going through the bike trails and looping around through the Gardens and Cougar Village before coming back to Parking Lot A.

Walk...
Take a leisurely stroll through beautiful SIU Edwardsville Campus.  Bring your buddies, strut with your baby strollers or roll out your wheelchairs.  Walkers of all ages welcome!  It's all about having fun and making a difference!
