DON'T FORGET TO WEAR PURPLE
Wed, 03/18/2009 - 11:14DON'T FORGET TO WEAR PURPLE ON MARCH 26!!!!
Founded in 2008, by nine-year-old Cassidy Megan of Nova Scotia, Canada, Purple Day is an international grassroots effort dedicated to increasing awareness about epilepsy worldwide. On March 26, people from around the globe are asked to wear purple and spread the word about epilepsy.
Why? Epilepsy affects over 50 million people worldwide. That's more than multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and Parkinson's disease combined.
Why purple? LAVENDER IS THE INTERNATIONAL COLOUR FOR EPILEPSY
