Purple Day: International Epilepsy Awareness Day

What is the event?

"Monday 26 March is Purple Day, a worldwide event aimed at raising awareness and funds to support people living with epilepsy. Remember, almost 90 people are diagnosed with the condition every day.

So, how can you get involved?

You could help us with a cake bake, sponsored walk, dress-down or colour your hair day - you might even decorate your town, village or office! All we ask is that you turn everything Purple!

For those adrenaline junkies among you, why not join our exhilarating Purple Plunge – 10,000 feet freefall parachute jump, just like Ashleigh (above).

Whatever you decide to do, we’d love to hear about your Purple Moment so please share your experiences using the hashtag #PurpleDay on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram."
