ribbon colours and their meanings

Today, I was looking at a list that decoded the awareness ribbon colours.
Since there are several meanings to one colour, it is interesting, what is associated all with the purple one.

Cystic Fibrosis which two of my cousins have (had) Marion passed away when she was a little girl, and medicine was not as far advanced back then to prolong her Life. To the same family was born a boy with it, too and he was a Methusalem, outliving the prognosis the doctors gave over decades. This was possible because of the inhalative
treatment and supplements replacing, what his body could not produce itself.

The purple ribbon also wants to raise awareness to religious tolerance, an issue, I really want to emphasize a lot. No matter what religious sect we belong to, we will never know, if ours is the only "right one", so we should accept the diversity.

It also is promoting remembrance and awareness of violence against women, which I was subject to for over eight years of my young life, and it left me with lots of emotional scars.

Alzheimers disease is another meaning to it. We lived with it, my Grandma was having it, and taking care of her at home was a real challenge for us all involved.

Last, but not least it also wants to raise awareness of Epilepsy, which I have to deal with since my brain surgeries in May,June and July of 2008.

Isnt it strange, how so many of the things going on with me or in my family are associated with this one awareness colour?
