Get ready for a fun-filled, family-friendly event! The 4th Annual Reagan’s Run, a 5K run, 1 mile walk, and kids dash will occur on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at Wilson Farm Park in Wayne PA.
This event is hosted by The Rea of Hope for a Cure Foundation and inspired by thirteen-year-old Reagan Monast, who lives with intractable epilepsy. The foundation is on a mission to support and connect those affected by epilepsy in Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties, along with all 3.4 million Americans living with epilepsy.
This 5K, 1 mile walk, and kids dash aims to raise awareness and funds for epilepsy research. Proceeds will go to Rea of Hope and CURE Epilepsy. Reagan’s Run has raised nearly $86,000 since it began in 2021, which has gone directly to epilepsy research.
Reagan’s Run will have a raffle table, snacks, and, most importantly, lots of smiles! This is a perfect opportunity to spend quality time with your loved ones while supporting a great cause.
Thank you to our partners UCB, SK Life Science, and Neurelis.
At 15 months, Reagan had her first seizure. Since then, she has been diagnosed with epilepsy and cerebral palsy, and she has had countless seizures. Her life has been filled with seizures, countless medications, hospital visits, loss of cognition, and the medical ketogenic diet. But her life has also been filled with hope and resilience that is beyond astonishing. Reagan, at her age, has endured more hardship than most adults due in a lifetime, yet she handles it all with grace and a smile.
Reagan amazes her parents every day. She accepts that epilepsy is a large part of her life, but never lets it dictate how she lives her life, with positivity, perseverance, and kindness. Reagan has become an advocate not only for herself but for other children living with epilepsy. She uses every opportunity to educate others by putting on awareness events, talking to peers and even helped create a book based on her life.
