Join The Mark Shaparin Foundation for our Escargot Challenge culminating event on Saturday, March 22 from 3-7 pm at Wayside Cottage in Scarsdale, NY. Our live event will support our social media challenge, which has raised awareness about epilepsy and Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) throughout the month of March.

We'll have escargot available at our event for anyone who would like to partake in the challenge as well as gummy and chocolate snails for our supporters that want to participate but are unable to eat a “real” snail. The Escargot Challenge is simple! Just record a video of yourself eating escargot or a candy snail and sharing a sentence or two about SUDEP and The Mark Shaparin Foundation. Then post it to your social media to spread awareness with the hashtag #Escargot4Epilepsy!

We can't wait to see you at our live Escargot Challenge event as we continue to honor Mark's life and adventurous taste buds. Donations are optional to attend and will support our mission of educating healthcare providers and the general public about risk factors and prevention methods for SUDEP with the ultimate goal of saving lives.
