ABOUT PURPLE DAY: Cassidy Megan, a member of the Epilepsy Association of Nova Scotia, founded Purple Day in 2008 at age 8. Motivated by her own struggles with epilepsy, Cassidy’s goal is to get people talking about epilepsy in an effort to dispel myths, reduce stigma and let those living with epilepsy know that they are not alone. Purple Day is celebrated on March 26th each year, on every continent and in over 70 countries. On Purple Day, people around the world are invited to wear purple and host events in support of epilepsy awareness. On June 28, 2012, the Canadian Government passed the Purple Day Act, making March 26th officially Purple Day in Canada.
