Joanna Sophia Foundation to Host 6th Annual Fun Run/Walk for SUDEP and Epilepsy Awareness

QUEENS, N.Y. - EntSun -- The Joanna Sophia Foundation is excited to announce the 6th Annual "Joanna's Fun Run/Walk" on Saturday June 21, 2025, inviting individuals, families, businesses, and organizations from around the world to come together in memory of Joanna Sophia Ioannou, a vibrant 9-year-old who passed away from Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).

This unique annual event is a cornerstone of the Foundation's mission to raise awareness, fund critical research, and support families impacted by SUDEP and Epilepsy. Thanks to the unwavering support of our community, the Joanna Sophia Foundation has proudly achieved incredible milestones, including:

• Reaching over one million individuals to raise epilepsy and SUDEP awareness worldwide.
• Raised $250,000 to fund the Joanna Sophia Research Grant in partnership with Cure Epilepsy, supporting critical SUDEP research.
• Providing direct financial assistance to families with children living with epilepsy.
• Hosted our first international Fun Run/Walk in Tanzania to help break the stigma surrounding epilepsy.

We are excited to announce that Cure Epilepsy will be joining us at this year's Fun Run/Walk, offering an opportunity for participants to meet and learn more about the groundbreaking research projects and the grant that the Joanna Sophia Research has helped make possible.
