October 25th is Occipital Neuralgia Awareness Day. Occipital Neuralgia (ON) is caused by irritation or inflammation of the occipital nerves located at the base of the skull, often triggered by head or neck trauma such as a concussion or whiplash injury. Our organization is committed to supporting those affected by ON, educating the public, and advancing research into its causes and treatments. Lighting the Philadelphia skyline teal on October 25th will send a powerful message of hope to patients across the city and beyond. Increased awareness leads to earlier diagnosis, better treatment options, and a stronger, more informed community.

I write to request Philadelphia's building illumination lights to raise awareness for Mesothelioma Awareness Day, a national effort which is held every year on September 26. I have epithelioid peritoneal mesothelioma, which is very rare and terminal. I am the incoming Chair of the Community Advisory Board for the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (the sponsor of Mesothelioma Awareness Day), and I am trying to achieve as much awareness as I can in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.

We will be posting about Mesothelioma Awareness Day on our website and social media accounts, we will be working to obtain media coverage (illumination lights would be extremely helpful here), and we will celebrate our results at our annual International Symposium on Malignant Mesothelioma, which this year is being held in Houston from October 21-23.

We often say that it is impossible to think of the Prep without thinking of Philadelphia, and to have the honor of having the city lit up in crimson and gray on our birthday would be wonderful.

The Ahmad Butler Foundation. When you joined the Fight with Lights in the past, you didn't just illuminate your landmark; you lit up hope for children fighting cancer and the families holding on through the darkest nights. Your glow became a symbol that someone, somewhere, was standing with them.
