Have you ever heard of Purple Day? It's a day dedicated to wearing purple. Now you're probably wondering why wear purple? And why should we make a fuss about it?
The color purple symbolizes Epilepsy Awareness. It's such a terrible disease that gets little recognition. It's known as the silent killer. So one day of the year, you are encouraged to wear purple, and wear it proud. Get others involved.
One way is to ask the local schools to encourage students to wear purple to school that day (and if Purple Day is on a non school day, then wear purple on the last school day before the event). No, you don't have to look like Barney the dinosaur to show your support. Add a purple ribbon to your shoelaces. Add a ribbon to your bracelet, in your hair tie, on your book bag. The variations are endless. Just let it be seen.
Will you be joining me on Purple Day?
