The First Purple Day

1 comment Send to friend Print this article

Last year I emailed all of our government, I even called our Prime Minister’s office, but I didn’t get to talk to him. I called Paul Shaffer from the David Letterman Show and he wore a purple tie on the show for me.

I also wrote Robert Munsch and he even sent me an autographed book called Look at Me. It is one of my favorite books.

I did some radio interviews and TV news interviews. I got my Mom to help me start a Facebook group, now the group has people from all over the world and there are over 6,500 members.

The epilepsy Association of Nova Scotia helped me a lot and The Canadian Epilepsy Alliance joined Purple Day too. Then the Anita Kaufmann Foundation found out about Purple Day and supported me.
