November is Epilepsy Education Month!Our new Epilepsy Month Poster features local children who really did make a difference. In the spring of 2008 the students of Haultain Memorial School held a head shave to support a classmate with epilepsy. The event was conceived by a nine year old by Ethan Drage but his classmates, student leaders, teachers, parents, and friends quickly got on board. These students not only raised $11,000 they succeeded in educating hundreds of people about epilepsy all while supporting a classmate! We were thrilled that these same children agreed to help spread the message of acceptance, support, and caring in a word FRIENDSHIP by participating in this new poster. What an inspiring group of young people. If you think you cant make a difference think again!Staff and Volunteers in Calgary and Red Deer have numerous activities planned for November. Watch for news bits, electronic sign messages, pins, and posters. Herere some of the ways YOU can help make a difference: View Calgary Events >> View Red Deer and Central Alberta Events >>
