Lunch on Saturday 1/23 (the closest Saturday I have off to actual Purple Day, which is 1/28) at Sixty Vines in the Reston Town Center. (This is a newer restaurant that took the place of Clyde's. I picked it because they have loooong tables, so we will all be able to sit together). ⭐️ Parking is FREE at RTC on nights and weekends, so no need for the Boston Properties app or fees. Reservation under "Samantha Mina". 📚 I will bring copies of my medical thriller, Living Ghost, for sale ($15). 50% of all proceeds that day will go to the SMA Syndrome Nonprofit! 💜* * *
Got purple? January 28th is the "Annual Worldwide Purple Day for SMA Syndrome" - a global event simply asking folks to wear our color to help raise awareness of this rare illness! 💜 #SMASawareness. If you're near Northern VA, please join us for dinner!
From Hollywood celebrities and British Royalty sporting purple, to international landmarks lighting up in purple at night, to posters advertising "Purple Scrubs Day" on the walls of Australian hospitals, to college students in North Africa pledging to wear purple hijabs to class on 1/28, this event has been making waves around the world since 2010. 🌎 Join us!
Why? Because 1 in 3 cases isn't properly diagnosed... until autopsy. SMAS is one of the rarest disorders in the world, but 0.013% is NOT too few to save! "When Jesus heard it, He said, 'This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it'" (John 11:4).
