As I sat there looking around at the faces that surrounded me, I couldn't help but think how small our world really is. I overheard Steve mention something about "The Six Degrees of Separation", and it got me thinking...how had I met all the people sitting around us? Who or what had brought us all together? What links did we share with one another? And what links were we making this very night?
With the help of my family (especially my amazing and talented brother, Brandon Carbaugh), I'm launching into a new project. I'd like to examine the degrees of separation within our epilepsy community: to find our links, and trace the bigger picture.
I've decided to place Chelsea Hutchison as the center hub of this picture. While Chelsea is no longer with us in person, her presence can be felt in the links we share. After all, if not for her, would we have shared such a great evening with so many friends? So, I would like to use Chelsea as the starting point, and discover where our links go from there.
What we want YOU to do--by comment, email, or facebook--is tell us who drew you into the Chelsea Hutchison Foundation. I'd like to discover the shape of this vast web we're all a part of, and put it all together into an infographic or a short youtube video.
I hope that by understanding the nature of the bonds between us, we can help to strengthen them...and maybe even form a few new ones!
