Why I wear Purple


I wear purple in memory of my daughter, in honor of my granddaughter and everyone I have come to know and will know in the future that has Epilepsy. Someday we will make people as aware of Epilepsy as they are Breast Cancer.

I hope so. I wear pink for sister because she had breast cancer and she is wearing purple for me because I have epilepsy. And I'm asking my other sister, mother & daughter to also wear purple.

I wear purple for me. I wear teal for a friend who has Ovarian Cancer. It was luckily caught in stage 2, so she has a pretty good chance of survival.

I want to wear purple for all of those who suffer so much more than me from E. I have my issues because of it, but am very lucky in many ways.


For all of our lost loved ones who have gone far too early.

God Bless your family Laura

I put out the purple for everyone here and not here. Not for me.
