Purple Day of Epilepsy- March 26th

March 29, 2023

Purple Day of Epilepsy is an International Day of Awareness dedicated to raising understanding and reducing the social stigma associated with epilepsy, a neurological condition.
It is celebrated annually on March 26 with the goal of educating people about epilepsy, recognizing the signs of a seizure, and offering support to those who are impacted by it.
The first Purple Day of Epilepsy was celebrated on March 26, 2008, and since then, it has grown into a global movement.
Purple Day of Epilepsy was founded in 2008 by Cassidy Megan, a young girl from Nova Scotia, Canada, who wanted to raise awareness about epilepsy after her own struggles with the disorder.
