Purple Day
March 26, 2023
Purple Day is celebrated internationally on March 26, to raise awareness about Epilepsy. Even though this neurological disease affects around 50 million people worldwide and 3.5 million in the United States, there is still a lot of misinformation and stigma surrounding it.
Purple Day exists to give people the true facts about the disorder and let those who suffer from epilepsy know that they are not on their own, encouraging them to reach out to their community and advocate for better education on epilepsy, with the help of the many grassroots organizations dedicated to the cause.
