Epilepsy impacts 40,000 Torontonians per year. March is Epilepsy Awareness Month and it features on March 25th at 5pm, There is a free"purple" concert at Yonge and Dundas Square featuring Canadian Idol Judge Zack Werner and Degrassi's Andrea Lewis. It also features karaoke tents and photo booths and you can come out and help support Epilepsy at the same time. Get your friends and family, enjoy downtown Toronto and come support. I hear the CN Tower will be purple in support as well... So go dig through your closet and find something purple, then click on the link below to see the Epilepsy Toronto website.
There are misconceptions about Epilepsy and stigmas attached to mental and physical illnesses/disorders. As I worked with special needs kids, I saw children (who weren't epileptic, but had seizure disorders) and it is heartbreaking.

Thanks for sharing this event with your followers! I hadn't heard that the CN tower was going to be purple too, but that's awesome!
