Epilepsy Ribbon

Wed, 08/25/2004 - 10:57
Does anyone know if an Epilepsy ribbon, like the Breast Cancer Ribbon exists? I would like to get one made, and have the profits go towards Epilepsy research. I am looking for anyone who might know anything about this. Please e-mail me at mitzi525@ameritech.net. Thank you!

I agree. I think about that alot about an epilepsy ribbon and having the profits go toward some kind of epilepsy foundation. I was just at a breast cancer play last week and there were so many people there just to help out breast cancer. I don't think people understand how many people there are out there that have epilepsy. I never knew until my seizures started three years ago. I would love to do what ever it is I could to help start out a ribbon to help all of us out there. So, anybody else who knows about a ribbon, please respond.

Hi Bandcheryl.My 21 year old daughter is epileptic. I will look into the ribbon thing and let you know. Great idea.Has anyone heard of long-term respite for epileptics such as in home care-giving? I am afraid for her as she has most of her seizures upon waking. When she'll be on her own, then what?Should someone start up a non-profit or is there one already?
