Purple Day for Epilepsy
www.purpleday.org


A little bit about Purple Day...

Founded in 2008, by nine-year-old C*****idy Megan of Nova Scotia, Canada, Purple Day is an international gr*****roots effort dedicated to increasing awareness about epilepsy worldwide. On March 26, people from around the globe are asked to wear purple and spread the word about epilepsy.


I know November is Epilepsy Awareness month in the US (here in Australia, there's an Epilepsy Awareness Week in May) - but awareness = good, and can't see any fundamental problem with a second publicity hook.

And IMHO, anything that combines raising awareness + purple... I DID choose my username for a reason :)

* Purple Day for Epilepsy, March 26 - wear purple, raise awareness
* Epilepsy explained - multimedia resource for teens... one day, I might be able to design something like that :)

Hi Purple! Welcome to the lounge!

I'll mark my calendar to wear purple on the 26th. Thanks for the heads up!
