CURE Epilepsy’s Run/Walk Series—Seany’s Shuffle
The CURE Epilepsy Run/Walk Series is a network of regional fun runs and walks hosted each year around the US. Board member Maureen Flood Rabus held the inaugural Seany’s Shuffle on November 17, 2024 in Lakewood Ranch, FL to honor her six-year-old son Sean, who was diagnosed with infantile spasms at seven months old and has a rare genetic disease called Menkes that is the underlying trigger for his epilepsy. The event raised nearly $50,000 and had over 100 participants in its first year!
