Today is #PurpleDay 💜
We’re spotlighting SCN8A—one of the rarest forms of epilepsy. Underdiagnosed. Underfunded. Misunderstood. But not alone.
💥 SCN8A families fight every day for answers, support, and care that meets their needs. Today, we stand with them.

A friend, sadly no longer with us, had this experience with his beautiful daughter Tilly & #SCN8A. He eventually found other parents around the world & set up www.scn8a.co.uk/what-is-scn8a. It’s a different genetic syndrome but maybe reaching out could help your friend. It meant the world to Ben.
