Being aware of an issue isn't enough. Awareness doesn't equal change. Action does. I'm aware that 46 parents per day will be told their child has cancer, but I don't just put a pin on my backpack and post about it on Facebook. You take action to make a change. Everything won't be perfect; you'll fail a lot. But when you fail or get rejected, you're still laps ahead of people not even trying. So why not go for it?

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
