IT might have started as a US holiday but who needs an excuse to celebrate their brothers and sisters?
National Siblings Day was originally conceived by Claudia Evart to honor the memory of her brother and sister, both of whom died at early ages.
The Siblings Day Foundation was incorporated in 1997 and achieved non-profit status in 1999.
