Cassidy Megan who was from Nova Scotia in Canada, founded Epilepsy Awareness Day with the first celebration held on 26th March in the year 2008. Inspired by her own diagnosis and struggles of living with epilepsy, she realized that it is crucial for everyone to understand this neurological disorder. She started hosting an avenue for people to engage, learn, and support the people’s education of epilepsy and also to eliminate the myths and fears encompassing it.

The Anita Kaufmann Foundation partnered with the Epilepsy Association of Nova Scotia to launch Purple Day in 2009, bringing more mass attention and structured campaigns to the purpose of the day internationally. Over 100 thousand students, 95 workplaces, and 116 politicians took part in Purple Day celebrations that same year.

The Anita Kaufmann Foundation trademarked Purple Day or the Epilepsy day in 2011 and it has continued to grow ever since.

It can be a scary condition to people who do not know what is going on, which has led to various unnecessary assumptions and even laws about the disease and the capabilities of those who live with it.Around 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, making it one of the most common neurological diseases around the world.

Purple Day of Epilepsy 2023: Motto

The motto is ‘Anyone with a brain can have a seizure and anyone with a brain can help those with epilepsy.

How Does Purple Day of Epilepsy Help ?

  • It increase understanding

The number of people living with epilepsy is greater than those living with an autism spectrum disorder, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy combined, but the funding for epilepsy is a small part of the financial support that goes into research for the other conditions. Epilepsy Awareness Day gives this condition the much-needed attention it needs.

  •  It gets rid of fear and stigma

Knowledge has the power to extinguish prejudice and fear. People living with epilepsy, specially those in less developed countries,are likely to undergo discrimination and stigma, which can be more difficult to find than the disease itself. Epilepsy Awareness Day contributes greatly in spreading awareness on Epilepsy around the world.

  • Everyone loves purple!

More than 40% of the population express that their favorite color is purple. Some researchers even say that people who are passionate about the colour purple make extraordinary humanitarians and are always ready to help those in need.
