Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects over 50 million people worldwide. It is most known for causing seizures. This is a disorder near and dear to my heart as two of my family members suffer from it. Disney is participating in bringing awareness to this disorder. Make sure you register for this event and dress in purple the color representing Epilepsy Awareness!!!
