Purple Day for Epilepsy is an international grassroots effort dedicated to increasing awareness about epilepsy. Celebrated on March 26th each year, Purple Day encourages people to wear purple to show support for those living with epilepsy. This day also aims to dispel myths and stigmas surrounding epilepsy.

The color purple was chosen to represent epilepsy because it symbolizes strength, courage, and endurance. Purple Day was started in 2008 by a young girl named Cassidy Megan, who wanted to create a day for people to come together and show solidarity for those living with epilepsy. Since then, Purple Day has grown into a global phenomenon, with people from around the world participating in various events and activities.

By participating in Purple Day for Epilepsy, you can help raise awareness and promote understanding about epilepsy. Whether you choose to wear purple, host an event, or share information on social media, your support can make a difference in the lives of those affected by epilepsy. Join us on March 26th to show your support and help spread awareness about epilepsy.
