Happy Purple Day!

HAPPY PURPLE DAY!!!

In the world of Epilepsy, today is a very special day. March 26th is known as Purple day the international day for Epilepsy awareness. People across the world are donning their purple clothes and doing something special in order to raise awareness and money for the condition!

This year there is of course the "selfie" trend well and truly in action. Charities have adopted the trend to help the effort of raising vital funds to aid their cause. Thankfully there are good few charities working away supporting Epilepsy but today I have chosen one that is particularly close to my heart. Epilepsy Sucks UK are a wonderful small charity that really do work incredibly hard to raise funds to provide children and adults alike who suffer with nocturnal seizure a free anti-suffocation pillow. Not only that (as if that wasn't enough!!) they also provide constant support through a Facebook page (here's a link) to thousands of people all hours of the day. I can safely say that without my pillow I may not be here today and without there support my strength would be dwindling! Below is my effort to help them raise a few more pennies for the pillow pot :)


So if you see someone or something purple today give Epilepsy a thought and wish for a cure please :) Have a lovely day my fabulous purple people x
