FOR SUPPORT, CALL 1-866-APF-3635 (273-3635)
Over the years this time honored tradition has inspired porphyria patients to go out and educate their community on porphyria. Over the years many great ideas have been put into action such as, in 2014 when Amanda Rich made purple bracelets for porphyria survivors or in 2015 when Victor Mejias hosted a fishing tournament for the APF. In 2018, Cassie Tucker and her son created a T-shirt campaign to raise awareness for EPP and donated part of the proceeds to the APF! This is the time to use your hobbies and talents to spread the word about porphyria. There is no limit to what you can accomplish!
What does 2019 hold? Murphy McNutt (PCT) is organizing a fundraiser for the APF at her fitness studio. She is planning a "ride" with the support of the studio owner and plans to have riders wear purple! Check out Murphy's story on the APF website Member Stories, visit https://porphyriafoundation.org/for-patients/member-stories/porphyria-cutanea-tarda/murphy-mcnutt/.
Over the next few weeks, the APF will be sharing resources and tools for you to create awareness in your community. Need ideas? Give the APF office a call on 866-APF-3635.
Let us know what YOU are planning and together let's PAINT THE WORLD PURPLE!
