Purple Day: Raising Awareness for Epilepsy


Epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, affects millions of people worldwide. On Purple Day, we come together to raise awareness, dispel myths, and support those living with epilepsy.

Purple Day, observed annually on March 26th, was founded in 2008 by Cassidy Megan, a young Canadian girl with epilepsy. Her goal was to create a global movement that would educate people about epilepsy and reduce stigma associated with the condition.

The color purple was chosen because it represents both calmness and strength. It symbolizes hope for a future where epilepsy is better understood and accepted.

How Can You Get Involved?

  1. Wear Purple: Show your support by wearing purple clothing or accessories.
  2. Educate Others: Share information about epilepsy with friends, family, and colleagues.
  3. Donate: Contribute to epilepsy research and support organizations.
  4. Be Compassionate: Understand that seizures can be frightening, but empathy and kindness go a long way.

Let’s turn the world purple on March 26th! Together, we can create a more inclusive and informed society for those living with epilepsy. 

Remember, Purple Day is not just about wearing a color; it’s about fostering understanding and compassion. Let’s stand united against epilepsy and make a difference!
