November: Epilepsy Awareness month:

Let's use all 30 days of November to shine a light on epilepsy and seizures and to educate all who will listen.

Did you know that 1 in 26 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy at some point in their lifetime? Probably a majority of people you mention this to don't know this important statistic. There are many other equally significant facts to share this month.
