Purple Day is an international observance dedicated to raising awareness about epilepsy. It is observed annually on March 26th in Canada and the United States, as well as in many other countries around the world.
The initiative was started by Cassidy Megan, a young girl from Canada who wanted to increase understanding about epilepsy and reduce the stigma associated with it. Purple was chosen as the color for epilepsy awareness, as it symbolizes bravery and determination.
On Purple Day, people are encouraged to wear purple clothing or accessories, and various events and activities are organized to educate the public about epilepsy, its symptoms, and how to provide support to individuals living with the condition. Schools, workplaces, and community organizations often participate in Purple Day activities to show solidarity and raise awareness.
The ultimate goal of Purple Day is to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for people with epilepsy and to promote acceptance and understanding within society.
