Anyone who is a fan of Terry Pratchett and his Discworld novels knows that he has been diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimer's Disease. A blog called "Match It For Pratchett" has started a fund to raise money for Alzheimer's research to match the 1 million the author pledged towards research. Through this blog the Pratchett fan community has started "Wear the Lilac", a campaign to wear a sprig of lilac on the 25th of May for Alzheimer's Awareness. This coincides with an incident from one of Pratchett's books, "Night Watch" in which the main characters wear a sprig of lilac on the 25th of May in remembrance of a great revolution, and a fallen comrade-in-arms.
I think this is a great movement, and I made this lilac image in honor of it. I plan on posting it on the 25, in lieu of wearing one [because I have no lilac, and I don't go anywhere...>_>] I'm not sure if the deep purple ribbon is part of it, but I added it because it looks nice and balances the picture.
Thanks. I really hope we continue to strive to find a cure or a preventive for this.
