SUMMARY:Virtual Town Hall with Minnesota Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:Please join members of the Minnesota Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (MNCCD) on April 28th for a virtual town hall forum about the impacts of COVID-19 on members of our disability community statewide. \nThe depth of this public health crisis greatly impacts individuals with disabilities\, their family members\, and support professionals – many of whom are at greater risk due to underlying health conditions\, low income\, and food/housing insecurity. \nThis also comes at a time when our current network of disability supports – especially Personal Care Assistance (PCA) – is at the brink of collapse due to the widespread workforce shortage. \nThat’s why – now more than ever – we need help from Congress to maintain stability and consistency in service provision\, service navigation\, and advocacy to help ensure that people with disabilities can stay healthy in their homes and communities. \nDuring this town hall forum\, we hope to highlight individuals’ stories to inform our members of Congress’ work in developing COVID-19 emergency relief legislation that addresses the needs of people with disabilities. \nZoom Dial-in / Video Conference: https://arcminnesota.zoom.us/j/217753006 or call 1-877-853-5257 \nMeeting ID: 217 753 006

DESCRIPTION:When is a seizure not just a seizure?  How can we tell the difference between a run-of-the-mill epilepsy and an epilepsy syndrome?  What extra information do we gain when we successfully identify and name these rare epilepsy syndromes?  Please join us for a presentation by Dr. Douglas Smith\, a pediatric epileptologist at the Minnesota Epilepsy Group and an expert in rare genetic and metabolic causes of epilepsy.  Designed to be both practical and interesting\, he will be covering both relatively common and extremely uncommon epilepsy syndromes that will change the way you look at seizures.

SUMMARY:Rise Above Seizures Walk - St Cloud
DESCRIPTION:The Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota (EFMN)’s annual Rise Above Seizures Walk is the single largest fundraising and awareness event in Minnesota and North Dakota to benefit people with seizures. The walk began in 1999 in Rochester\, MN and since then has expanded to four additional cities; Minneapolis/St. Paul\, Duluth\, St. Cloud\, and Fargo/Moorhead. The Rise Above Seizures Walk celebrates people with seizures and raises awareness and funds to support services for the many people EFMN serves annually. Over 3\,500 walkers in five communities come together as a powerful force to help people with epilepsy realize their full potential and stop seizures. Funds raised from the walk are used to educate\, connect and empower people living with seizures and honor their loved ones. 100% of the funds raised in each of our regions are reinvested directly back into the community!
