Story

Purple Day is THE day to get people talking about epilepsy, bust the myths about seizures, and raise funds so children and young people can feel safe, supported and included.

Youre invited to #GoPurple by taking part in an exciting activity of your choice and raise life-changing funds for children and young people with epilepsy.

Wear Purple to highlight why Purple Day is important to you.

Move Purple with a run, walk, wheel, skydive, cycle, swim, get muddy, or do you have your own idea for a challenge?

Play Purple by fundraising through your favourite video game. Live-stream a playthrough or play privately with friends and raise money from your PC or console. Find out more about gaming fundraising at youngepilepsy.org.uk/gaming.

Simply choose your activity, make a fundraising page and share with family and friends to get sponsored. If you need any help with ideas or have any questions then please get in touch via 01342 831245 or fundraising@youngepilepsy.org.uk.

Why your support is vital:

For children, epilepsy is frightening, isolating and often misunderstood. Purple Day is our chance to show we are standing up for children and young people with epilepsy. Were here for them.

Together we can create a society where children and young people with epilepsy have a voice and can live happy, fulfilled lives. Through research that improves diagnosis and treatments, campaigning for children's rights, supporting them in school, and providing innovative tools, information, and practical help for living day-to-day life.

Please join in Purple Day this year, because epilepsy is limiting the chances of thousands of children today and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives.
