626,000 people in the UK are living with epilepsy and 79 people are diagnosed every single day. Your support this Purple Day has helped us to be here for them, every step of the way.
With your help, we can help so many more people, together .
Find out why thousands of people come together every year.
In 2008, eight-year-old Cassidy Megan from Canada decided she wanted to help raise awareness for people with epilepsy and to help them realise that they’re not alone.
Cassidy picked purple to represent this day because lavender is internationally recognised as the flower for epilepsy. Over the years, the event grew to become the international success we know today, and it’s now one of the biggest fundraising events in the epilepsy calendar.
Taking place in March, every year thousands of amazing people come together to raise awareness and funds to help make a difference for people living with epilepsy.
