What is Purple Day?
Celebrated annually on March 26, Purple Day is all about increasing everyone’s understanding of epilepsy. Cassidy Megan from Canada founded the first Purple Day event in 2008. Motivated by her own struggles of living with epilepsy, she realised the importance of helping others to know more about what she was going through.
Purple Day is now an internationally recognised day focused on sharing information about epilepsy worldwide.
People and organisations across the globe come together on this day to wear purple and host events in support of epilepsy awareness.
