Epilepsy Awareness Month, Day 3: One in 26

For my first post for Epilepsy Awareness Month last year, I wrote about onein26.org. It was an ad campaign developed by the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota to create awareness about epilepsy and how common it actually is. The header for the website is a video that I got to be a part of and I’m pretty proud of that fact. They also posted the video on YouTube, which means I can post it here on the blog. Not to say that you shouldn’t visit the website, but if you only have a minute of spare time…

What I discovered later is that the company that created this video made another one using additional footage from some of the same people and entered it into a kind of advertising campaign competition. I’m not sure what the name of the competition is, how the video got entered, what the rules were… I just know it won a bronze award in the “Integrated Media Public Service Campaign” category. I’m pretty proud of that fact, too. Unfortunately, it’s not on YouTube, so I can’t embed the video on this page, but I can add a link to the site where it’s posted. So without further ado…

We are ONEin26
