Purple Day 2011

Every March 26th is Purple Day. It is a day to promote Epilepsy awareness. It is worldwide and there are lots of walks and parades that go on. Unfortunately, there aren't any events close to us this year. So this year, we are asking all of you (all of our friends and family, extended or otherwise or anyone else who would be so inclined) to please wear purple on March 26th and take a picture of yourself and your families and send them to us via email (ksully4@live.com) or snail mail (email me for our address,) so that we can make a little scrapbook for Cierra so that she can feel like she was part of the festivities and to help her know that she isn't alone in her battle. If you would like to include a little note or some kind of encouragement, we would love to include it in the scrapbook with your picture.

Epilepsy has robbed Cierra of a normal childhood. She is on a high dose of a strong medication that has serious side effects and she still continues to have daily seizures. She is possibly facing major surgery this summer that could cause her to lose her speech and other motor skills that she will have to relearn.

Please show Cierra your love and support by doing this one small, simple thing this year. Please feel free to pass this along to anyone you know who would be willing to help with this project-friends, neighbors, church members, etc. We would like to get as much support as possible with this. This will also help to spread Epilepsy awareness. Thank you all so much. I know that this will mean so much to Cierra.

I can't imagine how difficult that is for you all. I'm praying for you all. Especially with the upcoming surgery.
I will mark it on my calendar and try to get a picture & note to you.

It's Saturday night, the 26th, and I just opened my blogs to catch up on everyone, and read this post. So sorry I didn't get it in time, but please let Cierra know that she is the love and light of my life. Our entire family is lucky to have her; what a blessing she is!
