Purple Day March 26 2010

Motivated by her own struggles with epilepsy, Cassidy Megan founded Purple Day in 2008 to increase awareness about her disorder. Cassidy’s goal is to get people talking about epilepsy in an effort to dispel myths and inform those with seizures that they are not alone. Cassidy’s efforts began in her hometown in Nova Scotia, where she taught classmates and peers not to fear seizures, and explained to them that for the most part, people with epilepsy lead normal, healthy lives. With the help of her mom, Cassidy began contacting politicians, celebrities, non-profits and corporations, asking them to spread the word about Purple Day and epilepsy. The response was outstanding. People from around the world joined the campaign, helping make Purple Day 2009 a great success.
