Tanks in Motion, Hope in Action
Epilepsy Durham Region presents the most epic challenge of tug of war! Prepare for a seismic showdown of strength and solidarity at the second annual Pulling Together for Epilepsy Tank Pull challenge!
On Sunday, September 21st, 2025, teams of 10 from across our community will converge at the Canadian Tank Museum to harness their power and pull an eight-tonne tank 200m faster than their fellow competitors. With each pull, teams will not only test their raw strength, but also pull through and make traction for epilepsy support in Durham Region. Teams will vie for victory with all of their might, a feat only amplified by fundraising efforts and the collective support of sponsors, donors, and spectators. If 16 team captains join us on our mission, we will reach our $40,000 to support critical local programming!
This event is a rallying battle cry for epilepsy awareness, a beacon of hope for those living with epilepsy, and a testament to community spirit and unwavering dedication to make a difference. Through this epic display of teamwork and determination, we aim to shatter stigmas, spark conversation, and ignite change.
Join us as we unite in solidarity, pulling together for a world free from the constraints of epilepsy! Register today for your team’s place on the frontlines of this monumental event!
