Purple Day began back in 2008 and has since become the international day for epilepsy awareness. Founded by Cassidy Megan, Purple Day is celebrated throughout the world and strives to raise awareness of, and dispel the myths associated with epilepsy.

This Purple Day, Epilepsy New Zealand is quite literally turning purple – and we want you to join us!

You can do anything – just make sure its PURPLE!
