World Purple Day

You are encouraged to wear purple tomorrow to show your support for a worldwide event. Melissa Danis from the local epilepsy group talks about what this day symbolizes and how you can get involved.

 

“ Purple Day is a an awareness effort to spread the word about epilepsy and seizure disorders to give people a general idea of what it is and how it affects people day to day. In Flin Flon and Creighton all the schools are participating, so Ruth Betts, Hapnot and Mc Isaac will be taking part tomorrow, Creighton did theirs last week. Everybody is wearing purple and we will be doing assemblies and announcements, little factoids and give the kids a better understanding of what epilepsy is and how it affects our community as a whole.”

 

 This is the second year the event has taken place in Flin Flon and  the actual worldwide event will take place Saturday, but local schools will be participating tomorrow. Danis would like to thank all the local sponsors for their support including the Epilepsy and Seizure Association of Manitoba, Creighton Pizza, Urban Tot, Mugsy’s, Pharmasave and 102.9 CFAR. You are encouraged to stop by Urban Tot for your chance to win a Purple Day Gift Basket.
