5th Annual Anthony Maffie Walk to Cure Epilepsy

Registration

Registration will be under the tent at the The John F. Kennedy School, 100 Dedham Street in Canton. This is where you can pick up your t-shirt, learn more about CURE Epilepsy, and grab a bottle of water to begin your walk. Registration will open at 2:00 PM and close at 4:30 pm. Walk is Rain or Shine.

Parking

You can park in the school parking lot adjacent to our registration tent.

The Walk

The route is 1 mile around the JFK neighborhood on public sidewalks and will be easily mapped out for your convenience.

Participation Options

The walking path will be lined with yard signs from current and past sponsors. These signs honor loved ones lost to epilepsy, educate about SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy), and bring awareness to the challenges Epilepsy can cause. You can walk the one mile path, turn around and come back for a 2-mile walk, or even walk the route a few times to be sure you don’t miss any signs. You can also sit under the tent and cheer our team “Ant’s Arrows” on. We will have some chairs but we encourage you to bring your own.

Raffles

There will be cash/Venmo/CashApp raffle tables at the registration tent displaying baskets and gift cards from local community vendors and beyond. We anticipate raffle drawings will be completed by 5 pm. You do not need to be present to win. In 2025, we had over $5,000.00 in raffle prizes!

In Honor of Anthony

Diagnosed with epilepsy at 16 years old, Anthony’s seizures were fairly controlled with medication. He seized life as an athlete passionate about rugby and karate, pursued a career in nursing, and loved fishing with his brother. Tragically, Anthony succumbed to SUDEP when he was just 22. In honor of his memory, Anthony’s family hosts the annual Anthony Maffie Memorial Walk raising SUDEP awareness.
