ABOUT PURPLE DAY:
Cassidy Megan, a member of the Epilepsy Association
of Nova Scotia, founded Purple Day in 2008 at age 8.
Motivated by her own struggles with epilepsy,
Cassidy’s goal is to get people talking about epilepsy in
an effort to dispel myths, reduce stigma and let those
living with epilepsy know that they are not alone.
Purple Day is celebrated on March 26th each year, on
every continent and in over 70 countries. On Purple
Day, people around the world are invited to wear
purple and host events in support of epilepsy
awareness. On June 28, 2012, the Canadian
Government passed the Purple Day Act, making March
26th officially Purple Day in Canada.
