That same day happens to be Purple Day, a global day dedicated to epilepsy awareness.What began as one of the most challenging moments of my life has become the inspiration behind something much greater.I created Sip & Support to bring people together, raise awareness for invisible illnesses, and remind those facing challenges that they are never alone.Each year, on March 26, I turn the anniversary of my first seizure into a day of purpose, connection, and giving back. While epilepsy is where my journey began, my mission extends far beyond my own diagnosis.Each year, Sip & Support shines a light on a different invisible illness. For 2027, I've chosen to support Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, two conditions that affect members of my own family and countless individuals and families around the world.This cause is close to my heart, and I hope to use this year's event to raise awareness, encourage understanding, and make a meaningful difference for those navigating these often unseen challenges.Through Sip & Support and Our Strength Within, my mission remains the same: to make people feel seen, loved, and heard.Because at the end of the day, vulnerability creates connection." } ] } ] ```
