The Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey
Not another moment lost to Seizures



The Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey, an affiliate of the National Epilepsy Foundation, is a state-wide, non-profit charitable agency dedicated to helping to improve the quality of life for people affected by epilepsy and their loved ones.

The Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey, will ensure that people with seizures are able to participate in all life experiences; and will prevent, control and cure epilepsy through services, education, advocacy and research. They provide comprehensive support, personalized services and advocacy for individuals and their families in order to maximize their participation in society.

Epilepsy affects one in 100 individuals and their loved ones. Unfortunately because of the stigma that is still associated with having Epilepsy, it is not often spoken about. Many do not realize that Epilepsy is more common than Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis combined. Our staff is out in the community dispelling these myths and providing information through our statewide trainings and events. The website will be updated regularly with new information so be sure to check it frequently.

Semi big update for you all today! We have published the route outline as well as the final destination. General details of the route for this cruise can be found under the "Route" section.

We selected the Chatterbox Drive-in as the destination point for this cruise. Some of you may recall we have used this end point once before for one of the Autism runs. The great food, atmosphere and parking accommodations made it a top choice for our rally. You can click the image below to check out their website.



Waivers: The event waivers can be found under the "Additional Details" section. Everyone participating in the rally, Both Drivers and Passengers, are required to fill one out. Please populate all fields and print these ahead of time to make the registration process the morning of a lot smoother.

Spread the word! Let's get this event out there and spread the word to friends and family. Feel free to copy and paste this information on other forums to gain more attention. We have been consistently getting 100+ cars at the last couple of events. Let's make sure we match that or do better this time around! You can also find frequent updates on our Facebook Page.

RSVP List: The list has been updated as of today. If you don't see your name on our list please send us an email or PM with your information

Check back frequently for more information to come!
 
Great cause, you're the wrong person to push it on this board, as a member for 3 years, all you've done is post a run that you're pushing, all 25 posts are about it. You don't participate here, support our forum or vendors and you're "bumping and hounding" for participation. You get participation when you participate here and get to know our "members". Once again, great cause, good luck, now let this thread alone until someone posts a question.

Last update before the rally! We have just around 100 cars who confirmed they are coming out this weekend. There is still time to increase that number by telling your family and friends! This is going to one rally to remember so don't miss out!

We will be raffling a Garmin Nuvi 1350LMT at the end of the rally this year. Grab your raffle tickets during the course of the run to have a chance to win this awesome gift!



We also have a lot of cool prizes from detailing equipment to gift cards for the winners of the poker run! Are you feeling lucky?

With that being said I don't really see any further updates coming so here are a couple of things to remember:

  • Waivers: Please fill out and print your waivers and bring them with you. Please, don't forget because we will only have a limited amount at registration. This goes for both Driver and Passenger waivers.
  • Time: Please try and plan accordingly. We will be making every attempt to leave around 9AM from the Costco lot so please be on time.
  • Gas: Fill up your tank before you arrive at the starting point. There rally is a little over 100 miles total so to avoid stopping during the middle of the run please be prepared.
  • EZ-Pass / Change: There is one toll during this course of this run. The location is the Delaware Wap Gap on the border of NJ/PA, which charges .75 cent per car.

Everyone have a safe trip to the starting point! See you all bright and early Sunday!!!

Well at least you can still make us all laugh. Why don't you just wish everyone a safe trip for the entire day/rally, why only to the starting point. I guess it's because you don't get the point at all. Other than my trying to call you out as a semi-troll, one who only posts to get people to participate in his cause (as I stated, it is a good cause, it's just that you're the wrong person to promote anything on this board). In the time that you've been on NSX Prime, you've never contributed to the Forum, never participated in anything other than your run. Until you get to know the people on this board, in your backyard, I doubt that you'll have very much support. Why don't you try and make it up to Watkins Glen next year for the kids, or to the Offsie cancer walk and support one of our causes and meet a few of us, before you try and put your hand in our pockets!!!

Why are you even responding? He's not even reading what your posting (I'm assuming so since he somehow interpretted your first rant as a sign of you showing up to the event "Thanks for your support! See you there"). Just let the guy post and don't pay much attention to this small thread? Instead your bumping this thread by telling him he's wasting his time here. If it's that big of a problem just report him and have Lud perminant ban him.

RALLY STATUS: 100% ON FOR TOMORROW- August 14, 2011

All,

We have been getting a couple of inquiries about the rally tomorrow with some rain in the forecast. We have been monitoring the weather forecasts all day and have decided that the rally will take place tomorrow no matter what. As of now there is less than a 50% chance of rain at every 5 stopping locations during the course of the run during the time the event is taking place.

We anticipate reaching the final destination around 1PM tomorrow. The percentages of rain are only high during the evening; long after we are done with the event. If we are lucky we will see no rain at all. The plus side to all of this is that it won't be disgustingly hot out as it usually is for the runs during this time of year!

I urge you all to spread the word and come out tomorrow to participate in a great event for the EFNJ. We have the numbers for a record showing so lets make it happen! Don't let a little chance of rain take away from fun filled day for everyone!

We are looking forward to seeing you all in the morning. Drive safe and get ready for some fun!
