Purple day 2021
Campaign by Epilepsy Society (RCN 206186)
The 26 March is Purple day, a day to raise funds and awareness of epilepsy. Theres no escaping the fact that Purple day may look a little different this year. However, in 2021 there are still so many ways you can make a difference.

Story

After I gave birth in 2019 I suffered a seizure....at the time we were scared and worried as we were unsure what was happening! 

20 months on I have been diagnosed with a brain tumour that is causing epilepsy! The epilepsy society has been a place I have turned for support, giving me answers to all the questions I had about epilepsy. 

I am challenging all my friends and family to walk/run/cycle 1 mile a day for 26 days! Please join me in this challenge as keeping fit before giving birth gave me so much joy.....now I can’t exercise to the extent I used to but I can walk! 

Walk, run, swim or cycle a mile a day for 26 days to celebrate purple day on the 26th March!
