Today on #SLC13A5Awareness Day, I will be proudly honoring our grandson, Rowan, and wearing purple to raise awareness for all families and communities affected by SLC13A5 Epilepsy. Thank you to @TESSResearch for your continued support for families like ours. #TESSResearch @SenateCA

Today on #PurpleDay, we raise awareness for epilepsy. Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases globally with 65 million people around the world, including 300,000 Canadians, living with epilepsy. Today, I am wearing purple to honour my grandson, as well as every person living with epilepsy, and their families. @TESSResearch @SenateCA

On this Rare Disease Day, I urge everyone to #ShowYourStripes to raise awareness for every person, family, friend, and community impacted by rare diseases, including SLC13A5 Epilepsy. Together, we can increase visibility, advocate for more research and promote equity for all the strong and brave people living with rare diseases. #RareDiseaseDay @TESSResearch @SenateCA

I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to join members of the @RCofFergusElora at lunch today to hear Michael and Amber Black speak about our grandson Rowan’s journey with Slc13a5 Epilepsy and the @TESSResearch Foundation. Thanks for your rapt attention and the very thoughtful questions and comments. #CommunitySupportMatters
