PURPLE FOR EPILEPSY DAY TOMORROW!


I almost forgot to tell you about this. A little girl named Cassidy Megan of Nova Scotia, Canada has led a grassroots effort dedicated to increasing awareness about epilepsy worldwide. Tomorrow, March 26th, people from around this beautiful world are asked to wear Purple and spread the word about epilepsy.

Epilepsy affects over 50 million people worldwide (my Sophie is just 1) . That's MORE than multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and Parkinson's combined.

LAVENDAR is the international color for epilepsy.

And check back here for some purple photos tomorrow!
