I would like to take a few moments of your time to tell you who I am...

My name is BOOGABEAR.
BoogaBear03@sbcglobal.net

I am known as the traveling epilepsy awareness bear.After the passing of Danny Wader Jr. His mom and dad created Rocking for Epilepsy an organization to raise funds and awareness for epilepsy.

In a short six month time the two of them organized the 1st annual epilepsy walk in Davenport, Iowa. It was beary great they had over 300 walkers. and aised 10,000 for the epilepsy foundation.

On June 14, 2003(at the 2nd annual walk) I was introduced.

On July 1, 2003 I started my travels to visit adults and children with epilepsy, along with me I bring my journal for your thoughts and a album to add photos to. And the most important I wear my Medic Alert bracelet and bring my meds with me.

I stay with the host family for 7-10 days and ask them to promise they bring me every where with them, We can have fun explaining to others who I am and why I am traveling.

Since July 1,2003 I have made it to 33 different states and over 92 homes. I have made alot of new friends. I don't just visit and forget you. I do have my beary own email and hope we can stay in touch so I know how you are doing.

My goal is to visit every state and I am half way there. Please help me by letting me visit with you and your family.
