Please donate to the Epilepsy Foundation of Virginia, or better yet come out and ride with us! Our goal is to raise enough money for the EFVA to get bicycles for every Virginian with epilepsy that needs one. What better way to wed your love of cycling with helping people in need!
I am a neurologist at UVA who specializes in epilepsy. I see patients and friends with epilepsy every day who can’t drive because they are not allowed to drive for 6 months after a seizures. This makes it incredibly difficult to gete to work, the store, to see friends, or out of the house which can lead to feeling socially isolated. For the right people, getting them mobile on a bicycle can be liberating and even restore a sense of normalcy.
