Name March 26th National "Purple Day" in support of those who struggle with epilepsy & seizures every day.

Created by A.B. on September 12, 2012

About 3 million US citizens live with epilepsy and seizures. Many Veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury face possible seizures and a difficult assimilation into the new America. Good Americans with diverse expertise help treat, find a cure for, and better the lives of people facing the challenges of life with epilepsy. Nine-year-old Cassidy Megan of Canada struggled with epilepsy and created Purple Day to get people talking about the disorder, dispel myths and inform those with seizures that they are not alone. “Purple Day” will join us with other nations showing support of persons with epilepsy, their families and their caretakers. We will shed a positive light on epilepsy, eliminate stigma and elevate the quality of life of our citizens who only ask that their cause be illuminated.
