About Purple Day
Purple Day (26 March) is an international epilepsy awareness day. It is a time to get people talking about epilepsy, raise awareness of the condition and raise vital funds.
Purple day was created in 2008 by Cassidy Megan, a young girl from Canada, who has epilepsy and wanted to get people talking about the condition. Cassidy decided to use the colour purple because lavender is recognised as the international flower of epilepsy. Cassidy not only wanted to raise awareness but also assure people with epilepsy that they are not alone.
Purple Day is the perfect time to learn more about epilepsy and raise awareness. Here are some links to great organisations doing vital research and support:
