We are pawticipating in Purple Day for Epilepsy
Purple Day is an international grassroots effort dedicated to increasing awareness about epilepsy worldwide. On March 26th annually, people in countries around the world are invited to wear purple and host events in support of epilepsy awareness. Last year, people in more than 85 countries on all continents participated in Purple Day!
Our Uncle has epilepsy. He is one of approximately 260,000 Canadians have epilepsy according to an epilepsy prevalence estimate. Today, it is highly treatable and our uncle has lived a full and wonderful life.

ReplyDeleteMy father had epilepsy. Thankfully he lived a full life with a full-time job. Back then and so he had to keep it hid. People were not able to understand the problem. Thank you for coming forward with this today Marv. You look handsome in purple.

ReplyDeleteOoh dear, I kinda dropped the ball and didn't get a post up for Purple Day, but it was a mysterious onset of epilepsy that finally took my dad into hospital and his final days, I surely do support the message!!! There is so much we have to learn about how our bodies (and our pets) work... hugs and whiskeries and waggles, YAM-aunty xxx
Great job Marv. Our Daddy had seizures and it was scary stuff. Raz has had a couple too.

ReplyDeleteWe just found out about this after our post was up but Dad popped on a purple t shirt. His favorite color after his "real men wear pink" T
ReplyDeleteExcellent purple post for a good cause. XO
ReplyDeleteYou look marvelous in that purple, Marv!
ReplyDeleteIts still so sad that epilepsy is still such a hidden problem, seems that peeps are still uneducated enough about this scourge.
May a proper cure be found to end it.
As Always Marv is Marvelous!
ReplyDeletePurple suits you Marv! Good to bring more attention to epilepsy too!
ReplyDeleteYou look good in purple, Marv. I’m purring for all those who have epilepsy...both human and fur.
ReplyDeleteNice shot!
ReplyDeleteMy human didn't even know about this day until this year.
ReplyDeleteGreat cause Marv! :) <3
ReplyDeleteThat is a very worthy cause.
ReplyDeleteHad i known there was a hop for this, i would have tried to do something. One of my college roommates had epilepsy.
ReplyDeleteMarv, you look utterly adorable. Our mom should have participated on behalf of Sawyer; even though, he’s a cat and not a human.urta to all those who suffer from this disease.
