This year is the 2nd annual Moyamoya Day.
Moyamoya is a rare disease that effects the arteries
in your brain. The arteries become blocked or "tangled" and can cause
strokes and other symptoms. The word Moyamoya is Japanese for "puff of smoke".
My aunt was diagnosed with Moyamoya disease over a year ago.
In support of her and others with this disease I ask you all to
send up a light blue balloon into the sky.
You can write on your balloon either your loved one's name, their initials,
the letters MM or even WG (my aunts initials).
If you can't send up a balloon then be creative.
Draw, paint, create your own light blue balloon.
Take a picture of it and set it free into cyberspace for all to see!
Please take photos of your balloons and post on
instagram, twitter, Facebook, or even on here.
If you put them on instagram or twitter please use #MoyamoyaWG and tag @JoliadaPhoto
I hope many of you will participate.
Thank you, thank you, thank you in advance
Please sign this petition in order to help May 6th become
officially recognized/documented as
"World Moyamoya Day".
We need to raise awareness about this disease in order to help
others. There are links at the bottom for more information. Please take
a look and share them, thank you!
