So, join us this International Epilepsy Day to spread awareness, support, and solidarity. Let's glow together as we help to illuminate understanding and rally for those battling epilepsy. This is not just a day, but a movement, and your participation counts!
Change your social media profile photos to the International Epilepsy Day logo or another epilepsy-related image. Post updates sharing key facts from reliable sources about epilepsy to shine a light on the realities of this neurological disorder.
Coordinate a charity run within your local community to raise funds for a local epilepsy organization. Not only is it an excellent way to spread awareness, but it also fosters community as everyone comes together made stronger by a common cause.
Invite a medical professional specializing in epilepsy or someone living with the condition to speak at your workplace, school, or local community center. This not only breaks down misconceptions, but also starts open, honest dialogues about the disease.
Advanced research is the key to finding better treatment options and therapies. Donate to a trusted epilepsy research organization in honor of International Epilepsy Day.
Give a portion of your day to help with frontline engagement or other roles in an epilepsy focused charity. Your time would not only support the organization but also individuals and families affected by epilepsy.
