The Strong Kids for Kids Epilepsy Foundation is hosting the Tri to Help Indoor Triathalon for Epilepsy on Saturday, Feb. 26 beginning at 8 a.m. A new heat begins every forty minutes.
This triathalon is based on time: a 10-minute swim, 30-minute bike ride and 20-minute run. The competitors are judged by how far they get within the time allotted for each sport. People have been split into team relays consisting of all sorts of people in the community, all of whom wish to help with the efforts in finding the cure for epilepsy.
The Strong Kids for Kids Epilepsy Foundation Inc. is a group dedicated to helping those diagnosed with either epilepsy or other seizure disorders. They raise money through various fundraisers in order to prevent, control and hopefully cure childhood epilepsy. They host a variety of events including education programs, advocacy and research for treatments involving surgery, brain stimulation and surgery.
After six years and still going strong, this group brings neurologists from all across the United States as well as Canada to share their unique research and viewpoints as well as brainstorm ways to prevent and cure individuals affected with epilepsy.
All proceeds will go to the Johns Hopkins Pediatric Epilepsy Center.
Although registration for the event itself is sold out, you can always donate or go and show your support for those who have registered to compete.
This event will take place at Merritt Athletic Clubs located at 8757 Mylander Lane in Towson.
