November brings so many things to so many people. It brings the 30 days of things we are
thankful to on facebook. It brings a
houseful of family around the end of the month where they are suddenly thankful
for all of us, even if you don’t talk the rest of the year. It brings cooler temperatures, changing
leaves and for some it bring a time of remembrance. It bring Veteran’s the time we make sure to
let those that have and are currently serving our country how much we
appreciate them. It also bring Epilepsy
Awareness month. A time that people with
Epilepsy focus on bringing more awareness. It also brings a time when those of us that
have lost someone to Epilepsy are reminded of the evil ways of this illness.
Epilepsy affects nearly 2 million Americans. Despite this alarming number, most Americans
do now know how to properly recognize and respond when someone is having a
seizure. If you saw someone having a
seizure, would you know what to do?
One in every ten Americans have had, or will have, a seizure
at some point in their lives. Learning
about the condition could help save a life or prevent serious injury to someone
having a seizure.
Did you know that more people die each year from a seizure
related incident than die from breast cancer?
My son was one of those people.
Andrew went to sleep and never woke up.
Each November we make a donation to a reputable Seizure
Awareness charity. This year we would
like to include you.
For a $5.00 donation you will get an Andrew’s Wing’s
T-shirt, please state your size. We have
S, M, L, XL and XXL. This includes your
shipping, or you can choose our Andrew’s Wing’s Cookbook, written by a very
popular recipe contributor for Gooseberry Patch and Taste of Woman among other
publications. If you would like to
donate $10.00 you will get one of each plus a bracelet.
We are not stopping there.
If we are able to donate at least $100.00 with your support, we will put your name into a drawing for a
wonderful surprise. What does this have
to do with this industry? Each $5.00 you
donate puts your name into the drawing for yet another exciting item. How about a full case of Pacfic Acrylic
Double Wall 16 oz tumblers. This is a
$68.40 value. This is a win, win for
you. This is a win, win for Epilepsy
awareness.
Please send donations via paypal to lcanon@swbell.net (marked as

line please put Epilepsy Awareness. In
the message section please give us your mailing address and your preference of
cookbook or t-shirt and what size you need.

ReplyDeleteHello. I am new to Crazy Craft Blogs. I also lost my son to SUDEP, sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. I also work for Epilepsy awareness. Recently, my local NBC News did a story on SUDEP and I shared my son's story. You can watch it at http://www.nbc-2.com/story/24917492/silent-killer-claims-thousands-of-epilepsy-patients-each-year?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=9923291#.UxpaMx5DLmw.facebook. I also belong to a Facebook group for parents, family members who have lost a loved one to SUDEP. Please contact me if you want that information. Sherry Smith Meade on Facebook. Blessings to you!
