Welcome to My Sharon's Ride.Run.Walk. San Diego Team Fundraising Page!
Sharon's Ride.Run.Walk San Diego is a 15-mile Bike Ride or 5K Run/Walk that is very important to me. I am raising money to help The Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County so they can provide wraparound support services and programs at no cost to individuals and families affected by epilepsy. Join the movement that brings our community together to educate, spread awareness and make a difference for the people we love who live with epilepsy. Please help me support this cause - JOIN MY TEAM.

Epilepsy is a spectrum condition with a wide range of seizure types and control varying from person-to-person.
Public misunderstandings of epilepsy cause challenges that are often worse than the seizures.
Epilepsy is more than seizures. Every story matters in this fight. Here is my personal story of WHY this matters...
Epilepsy is more than seizures. Every story matters in this fight. Here is my personal story of WHY this matters...
Sergio Lopez, my brother, left us too soon due to SUDEP. We miss him so much, and want to help raise awareness. We also want to honor him by sharing his story.
Sergio was an amazing brother. He was a light in our lives... always made us feel so much joy. He never gave up on his dreams and was always so positive and supportive. We miss his laugh, his sense of humor... everything about him. He was full of life, always so energetic--always working out and playing soccer... and he loved working.
He should be with us now, but epilepsy took him away from us. We hope to share Sergio's light and positive energy with others because losing him so unexpectedly taught us the importance of it.
