Once again the Charlotte 49er Athletic Department put on their annual Epilepsy Stroll.
This is an event that is true to the heart of the department. Deputy Athletic Director Darin Spease has a son who has battled with the disease since the age of two. Spease’s family was fortunate enough to be able to afford the care needed in order to combat with epilepsy, but that is not the same for all families who struggle with this disease.
The stroll has been a fundraiser for the Medication Epilepsy Fund in North Carolina for over a decade.
Athletes from various 49er teams took the time to engage in games with children, make bracelets and dance for the cause.
