Purple Day takes place on Thursday 26 March 2026. On this day, we’ll be raising awareness, starting conversations about epilepsy, highlighting the risks associated with the condition and raising important funds. Get involved by baking it purple for a coffee morning at home or with at work with colleagues, adding a pop of Purple to your outfit for “Wear it Purple” or by having important conversation about epilepsy raising vital awareness. At SUDEP Action, we work hard to help people with epilepsy live as safely as possible, and to be here for the suddenly bereaved. Without the dedication of people like you, and your support for campaigns like Purple Day, we could not keep pushing forward to give people with epilepsy all the information they need to make the best, most informed choices. Purple Day was founded in 2008 by Megan from Canada, inspired by her own experience of living with epilepsy and her desire to help others better understand the condition.
