Embracing A Beautiful Life With Epilepsy

Purple Day, Every Day!

March 26, 2017 by Bailey

Here is me with my dance team, showing off our Purple Day gear! Thanks Northland School of Dance!

Happy Purple Day, Everyone! Today is a day we come together and wear purple to celebrate & promote Epilepsy Awareness and Research!

Where is Purple Day celebrated?

Internationally! Dozens of countries on every single continent wear purple in an effort to increase awareness about Epilepsy worldwide.

When was Purple Day started?

Cassidy Megan of Nova Scotia, Canada launched Purple Day in 2008! Since then, she and others with Epilepsy have encouraged supporters worldwide to support Epilepsy research. Cassidy’s goal was to increase communication regarding Epilepsy, in an effort to dispel myths surrounding the disorder and prove to those suffering from seizures that they are not alone.

Can I participate?

Of course! Whether or not you have Epilepsy, please wear purple on March 26 each year to help us promote Epilepsy Awareness. Share photos on social media of yourself and others wearing purple, and use hashtags such as #epilepsyawareness #purpleday #purplepride and #epilepsy .

The day is young and there’s still time to show your support! So go grab anything purple and start snapping some photos! Thank you for your continued support! Have a fantastic Purple Day and don’t forget to Seize The Day!

Bailey My Aura Borealis Post GreetingHello from Minnesota! I was diagnosed with Generalized Idiopathic Temporal Lobe Epilepsy in 2006. My goal is to create and contribute to a community for those living with Epilepsy & other neurological disorders, so that we can support each other, raise awareness, and share our hope for fewer seizures in the future!

Celebrating A Beautiful Life With Epilepsy

Far away there
in the sunshine
are my highest aspirations.
I may not reach them,
but I can look up and
see their beauty,
believe in them,
and try to follow
where they lead

Louisa May Alcott
