Purple Day for Epilepsy Awareness – March 26, 2024

Embrace the Purple Wave: Join Us for Purple Day 2024!

We are thrilled to announce our participation in Purple Day for Epilepsy Awareness on March 26, 2024. Purple Day is a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about epilepsy, a condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. This year, we invite you to join us in wearing purple, sharing information, and fostering a supportive community for those living with epilepsy.

In honour of Epilepsy Awareness the District of Mackenzie has proclaimed March 26, 2024 as International PURPLE DAY® and will be lighting up the Rec Centre in purple on March 26th!

Why Purple?

Purple symbolizes courage, strength, and unity. By donning this vibrant color, we show our solidarity with individuals and families affected by epilepsy. It is a powerful visual reminder that together, we can make a difference and break down the stigmas surrounding epilepsy.

How Can You Get Involved?

1. Wear Purple: On March 26, let's paint the world purple! Whether it's a purple shirt, tie, or even a splash of purple in your accessories, your commitment to the cause speaks volumes.
2. Social Media Campaign: Share your purple outfits and use the hashtag #PurpleDay2024 to spread awareness on social media. Share facts about epilepsy, personal stories, or words of encouragement to create a supportive online community.
3. Educate Yourself and Others: Take the time to learn more about epilepsy. Understanding the condition is crucial in dispelling myths and promoting empathy. Share educational resources with your friends, family, and colleagues to raise awareness.

Why Purple Day Matters:

1. Reduce Stigma: Purple Day aims to break down the stigma associated with epilepsy. By fostering open conversations and sharing accurate information, we contribute to a more inclusive and understanding society.
2. Support Individuals with Epilepsy: Many people with epilepsy face challenges and misconceptions. Purple Day is an opportunity to show support, compassion, and solidarity, letting them know they are not alone in their journey.
3. Raise Funds for Research: Purple Day is also a chance to contribute to epilepsy research. Consider making a donation to organizations dedicated to finding better treatments, and ultimately, a cure for epilepsy.
