Epilepsy Services of New Jersey 13th Annual Walk for the One

1 in 26 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime.

But we Walk for the ONE

For the one that makes epilepsy more than a statistic.

For the one who inspires us.

For the one we miss.

For the one still waiting for answers.

Epilepsy Services of New Jersey invites you to the 13th Annual Walk for the ONE, a family-friendly event honoring the one who inspires each of us to step up. Whether you walk for a loved one, in memory of someone, or for yourself, every step helps raise awareness and critical funds to support people living with epilepsy.

Your walk is a tribute. Your registration is the first step.

Start a Team for Your One

Behind every team is a story. A child. A parent. A friend. Maybe even you.

As a Team Captain, you lead your story. You turn personal experience — your own or someone else’s — into purpose.

Your team becomes a reason to show up. One voice amplified. One step toward change.

The deadline to have a team sign made is October 13. You can still create a team and bring your own sign to the walk!

Ready to step up? Here's how to lead as a Team Captain:

Step 1: Lead the Way

  • Register for Walk for the ONE
  • Rally your coworkers, friends, neighbors, and family to join your team

Step 2: Raise Your Voice

  • Invite others to donate in honor or memory of the one who brought your team together
  • Get creative with your fundraising strategies to maximize your impact

Step 3: Walk with Purpose

  • Join us on Sunday, October 18th at Johnson Park in Piscataway
  • Celebrate community, raise awareness, and take steps that matter

Walk for the ONE who matters to you.
