Epilepsy Awareness And Support
More than 3 million people in America suffer from epilepsy or seizures, and there are over 200,000 new cases of seizures and epilepsy each year. In about 75% of all epilepsy and seizure cases, there is no known cause. While the majority of cases of seizures and epilepsy are controlled with medication, more research is needed to understand the causes of seizures in order to prevent them. People with epilepsy are at a greater risk of injury from seizures and often have to modify their lives to live safely with a seizure disorder or epilepsy.
If you'd like to support someone suffering from seizures or epilepsy or raise funds for epilepsy research, you can purchase epilepsy awareness wristbands. The recognized awareness color for epilepsy is "purple", but you can order customized epilepsy awareness rubber bracelets with your desired messages in a large variety of colors and texting styles. Personalize your silicone wristbands with a custom message that means something to you, or use a generic message such as "Support Epilepsy Research" or "Hope – Strength – Courage".
