What is Make March Purple for epilepsy?
Each March the world turns purple in support of the 50 million people living with epilepsy. In 2021 Epilepsy Queensland invites you to join the movement happening in over 130 countries around the world and make March purple for epilepsy!
Make March Purple is an Australia wide campaign supported by epilepsy organizations across the country and the national peak body – Epilepsy Australia.
