March 26th every year is Purple Day – raising global awareness of Epilepsy. Matthew’s Friends have supported the Purple Day movement since it was founded in 2008. We raise funds to help those affected by complex drug-resistant epilepsy.
An International Effort
Purple Day is an international grassroots effort dedicated to increasing awareness about epilepsy worldwide. On March 26th annually, people in countries around the world are invited to wear purple and host events in support of epilepsy awareness. Last year, people in dozens of countries on all continents including Antarctica participated in Purple Day!
