September was ITP Awareness Month
What a blast we had spreading the word about ITP and showing off our Purple Spirit on the 28th (US) and 30th (UK). But it was not limited to just the US and UK. Around the world, ITPers have shown their support in spreading the word. For example. support groups through PDSA are being set up in Canada. In Germany, there was a ITP Awareness Day and as you will see in Muhammad Tahir's picture, World Platelet Day reached all the corners of the world. Wow, what great bunch of people spreading the word!
Lynda VanderBilt is the captain of our cheer leading squad so she will take our show from here.

Thank you Jackie,
ReplyDeleteYes I did wear purple but forgot to take a picture!!! Not very smart, huh?
We spent 3 days tye dying purple shirts for platelets day. All aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents wore them & we had a huge family dinner to show our support for my daughter...they read sportin purple on front & for Cheyenne on back. Best part is her entire school k-12 participated & wore purple-it didn't hurt that it was homecoming & school colors are purple & gold...but that's our little secret lol
