Purple Day

The world, and Madison in particular, is a much better place because of grassroots organizations that promote worthwhile causes.  

This is especially true of my friends, Anne and Dave and Colleen and Dave, who tirelessly work, talk about and live and breathe Lily's Fund.  It has become a formidable organization to raise awareness and support for epilepsy research in our own backyard, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

One in 26 live with epilepsy, an astonishing figure!  On Thursday March 26 you can easily and painless show your support by wearing purple.   As the website says, "By doing this one simple act, you raise awareness and show support for those living with epilepsy. Awareness brings funding. Funding brings more research, better treatments and hopefully a cure."

Show your support for this local organization.  Wear purple.  That's it!  What could be easier! Purple tie, purple t-shirt, purple shoes...just wear purple!   I'll have my purple on...will you?
