On January 29, 2006
the Epilepsy Foundation of Hawaii will be hosting the
4th annual Sharon's Ride for Epilepsy. Sharon's Ride is a unique
memorial to Sharon Rosenfeld, a nurse and teacher who cared deeply about
epilepsy and epilepsy patients who was killed during a cross country
bicycle ride in 1993. Sharon's Ride Run Walk for Epilepsy was started in
1996 in St. Louis, Missouri by Dr. William Rosenfeld and Dr. Susan
Lippmann, neurologists who specialize in epilepsy and who created the
event to honor the memory of Dr. Rosenfeld's sister. Sharon's Ride takes
place at 7 sites across the country and we are honored that Dr.
Rosenfeld and his family will be in Honolulu for our event!
Sharon's Ride/Walk for Epilepsy is a family oriented fund and awareness
raising event that offers a challenge for experienced athletes as well as
a fun day for the rest of us. There will be a 40 Km (25 mile) bike ride from
Kapiolani Community College to Kalama Valley or continue to Kailua with your choice of
100 Km (62 mile) or 75 km (50 mile) loop or choose a keiki freindly 10 Km (6 mile) ride
and bike obstacle course!
As usual we will also have a 1 mile walk that is freindly to wheelchairs, strollers,
and pets on a leash and this year we will also have a timed 5 Km run into Diamond Head
Crater. Food, fun, and activities for the keiki will be on
hand before and after the ride and we will have plenty of prizes!
Participants are encouraged to bring their families, their pets, their
bikes, scooters or wheelchairs. Participation by disabled individuals is
encouraged. Family and team participation is also encouraged with prizes
and awards for biggest teams and top individual and team fundraisers!
All proceeds from the event will go to the Epilepsy Foundation of Hawaii,
a non-profit organization dedicated to The Epilepsy Foundation of Hawaii
that provides direct services to individuals with seizure disorders. It
is estimated that over 15,000 Hawaii residents suffer from epilepsy and
over 75,000 people are touched by it. For over 20 years the EFH has
provided information and educational services to individuals and groups
with questions pertaining to epilepsy. For more information see us on
the web at www.HawaiiEpilepsy.com/EFH or call 808-528-3058 (toll free at
