She spoke about Emma’s story and the importance of @SickKidsToronto in children’s lives. This helped create that personal connection that resonates with everyone. Not only have they been super generous to SickKids, they even came with a care package for Emma! 💜💜💜

This past Purple Day, we were deeply moved by the incredible outpouring of support from so many communities who came together to shine a light on epilepsy. Whether you wore purple, shared a story, rocked your dance moves, or learned more about Epilepsy, thank you.
