About Purple Day
Purple Day (26 March) is a grassroots initiative dedicated to increasing epilepsy awareness worldwide. The day was founded in 2008, by nine-year-old Cassidy Megan of Canada. Cassidy started Purple Day in an attempt to get people talking about the epilepsy and inform those with seizures that they are not alone. She named the day Purple Day after the internationally recognised colour for epilepsy, lavender.
Being driven by a vision of helping Australian’s live confidently despite seizures, Epilepsy Action Australia is once again embracing Purple Day to encourage Australians to raise much needed epilepsy awareness through Purple Day fundraising activities.
