Raise Awareness
Raising awareness and educating others about CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder is one of the most important things you can do! Any time is a good time to spread #CDKL5Awareness, but there are some dates where sharing about our rare disease is particularly powerful: Rare Disease Day (Feb 28 or 29), Purple Day for Epilepsy (Mar 26), CDKL5 Awareness Month (June), World CDKL5 Day (June 17), Epilepsy Awareness Month (November).

- Learn how to increase exposure for CDKL5 with our Media Toolkit and Proclamation guide.
