About the campaign
Join or organise a walk and help us walk 50 million steps – a step for every person affected by epilepsy in the world.
Starting on Monday, January 4th and ending on International Epilepsy Day 2021 – Monday February 8th, we’re walking to raise awareness, to improve visibility and increase understanding of epilepsy. Your walk could also be an opportunity to raise vital funds for your local or national epilepsy support association!
Will you walk with us and add your steps to our grand total?
Between Monday, January 4th and Monday, February 8th (International Epilepsy Day) we’ll need at least 500 people to walk 20,000 steps every week…
….are you up for the challenge?
How to count your steps
People with a Fitbit or step tacker can easily track their daily steps. Anyone who has a smart-phone can also use this to track their steps. If you do not have a tracker or smartphone, participants can estimate their steps. On average, there are 1,350 steps in 1 kilometre. If you walk a distance of just over 3.8 kilometres, the average person will have achieved 5,000 steps.
