Someone New

A few weeks ago, I found out that another student has Narcolepsy and Cataplexy. I was so excited seeing as Narcolepsy is rare in children (most children with Narcolepsy don't live near me).

When I found out that there was another kid who has Narcolepsy I had to know more. I found out that he lives near me which is AMAZING because I can't believe I found another kid with Narcolepsy let alone one who lives near me. It gets better. He's my age; can you believe it!

I'm just so excited to meet him. I bet we'll have lots in common besides if not, I'm sure we'll have at least one thing in common.
He lives in the city where I'll be going to high school so it would be amazing if we got to go to high school together. Having a friend who's my age and who has Narcolepsy gives me hope that I'm not alone. That others like me are out there.
I can't wait to meet him.

Narcolepsy Charity

Recently at school I decided to participate in a charity system where you decide what charity you are going to raise money for. I chose "Wake Up Narcolepsy" because I have Narcolepsy; it was only practical to do my charity for Narcolepsy Research. I sold bookmarks, bracelets, necklaces, wallets, key rings, Narcolepsy T-Shirts to raise awareness and other free Narcolepsy give away items. It was very successful and I raised $78 for Narcolepsy Research. Wake Up Narcolepsy specifically said that whatever I made (in terms of money) they would match. Everything turned out well and I'm glad I decided to do this.
