Join us for Steps of Hope on May 2, 2026 at Mill Lake Park in Abbotsford or participate from anywhere in British Columbia. This family friendly event brings communities together to raise awareness, build connection, and support individuals and families living with epilepsy.
You can also create your own individual or team page through Zeffy to invite support for your walk. Registration is for participating in the event, while creating a page allows you to share your link with friends, family, coworkers, or your wider community and invite optional sponsorship in support of epilepsy programs across BC.
If you would like to take part with others, setting up a team is a great option for workplaces, families, schools, or groups of friends who want to walk together and work toward a shared goal.
