Purple Day – raising awareness of epilepsy

26th March is Purple Day. Heathfield and Horam fantastically turned purple in 2017 and 2018 and organiser Michelle Samuel is hoping 2019 will be bigger to get more people talking about SUDEP.

Business around the area are coming up with all sorts of creative ways to join in with the event.

Purple Day is an international grassroots effort dedicated to increasing awareness about epilepsy worldwide. On March 26th annually, people in countries around the world are invited to wear purple and host events in support of epilepsy awareness. Last year, people in dozens of countries on all continents including Antarctica participated in Purple Day!
