Can you and your dog help by wearing purple on March 26th to increase epilepsy awareness for canines and humans and show your support for this worldwide initiative?

We are representing canine epilepsy in this effort though we want to show our support for both humans and canines affected by this disease.

Wearing something purple is a simple way for you to reach out and help so please wear purple on March 26, 2010. Purple is the international color for Epilepsy!

For more info please visit us at http://www.tobysfoundation.org/whatsnew.htm and click on Purple Day.

Many people do not realize that dogs suffer from this disease. I had opportunity to discuss this with Dr. Ned Patterson at the American Epilepsy Society conference and he told me he tells people “Same Disease Different Species” By joining together we can help increase epilepsy awareness worldwide for people and their pets with epilepsy.

How great!!
I wish there were ribbons or buttons tho.
At work we can only wear the store shirt, but I could pin on a button or a ribbon.
And I know there are way to many, but how neat would it be to put not only Toby's name on the back of the shirt, but all the dogs in the memorials.

I guess I am confused...about the Wear Purple day...and Lisa's husband? I think I really don't get the connection. sorry.

crap i split it backwards...damnitdamnitdamnit

ok all fixed!

Yeah Wear Purple day!

there is no connection with the two I just posted it as an FYI....didn't mean to take away from Lisa's problem....bad timing I guess...sorry Lisa.

I got my manager at Starbucks to let us wear purple that day!

Purple on my birthday! and for a great cause! I'm in!

I have ONE shirt that is purple. I'll be wearing it..
OHHH I just thought of another TF fundraiser!! how about a purple Aussie pin for donations!!
That would be so cool
