Purple Day
March 26
Purple Day is a global initiative to raise awareness about epilepsy and support those affected by it. Also called World Epilepsy Day™, Purple Day was created in 2008 by nine-year-old Cassidy Megan of Nova Scotia, inspired by her own experience living with epilepsy.
Purple Day officially launched internationally in 2009 with the support of The Anita Kaufmann Foundation and the Epilepsy Association of Nova Scotia.
