On May 19, 2012 around 50 Padua Girls supported their sister, Sarah, in the annual Freedom from Seizures Walk.  Padua walked in memory of Sarah as a team — the Sarah Smiles team, which was lead by Amanda Lupacchino (‘12).  Amanda helped the team raise money and awareness for Epilepsy, and to help honor Sarah.

One girl who participated in the walk was Bridget F (‘14).  Bridget describes her experience at the walk, “I had a really fun time walking with the other members of the Sarah Smiles team.  It was a good experience and I felt satisfied that it was going to a good cause, and honoring our Padua sister.  I think we all made Sarah proud.”

Padua received a plaque that acknowledged the participation of the Sarah Smiles team and its efforts.  Sarah’s parents were both present for the walk to honor their daughter, and were pleased that the plaque Padua received included Sarah’s picture to keep her spirit alive at Padua.
