To recognize the courage of our One More Step Challenge participants, weโ€™ll add their first names to the hull of our boat so that these Virtual Shipmates can come along for our journey. When sailing, we will pick Virtual Shipmates to feature. By sharing their inspirational stories, we will raise awareness not only about epilepsy but about ways that people with epilepsy arenโ€™t letting this disorder prevent them from living their fullest life possible.

Featured Virtual Shipmates will receive a Sail For Epilepsy flag that was flown on the day they were highlighted, with the noon position and their name written on the flag.
