March 26 is PURPLE Day!

Purple Day!

Today is PURPLE day!
What exactly are we celebrating today?
Is it the color purple? Hmmmm… Not!
Purple Day is an international awareness about epilepsy!

Nine-year-old Cassidy Megan of Nova Scotia, Canada was the founder of purple day last 2008.
People from around the world were asked to wear purple to spread the word about epilepsy.

What is epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a condition of the brain that is characterized by recurrent seizures. Approximately one in ten people will experience at least one seizure during a lifetime. A single seizure, however, is not epilepsy. Epilepsy is a condition that is defined by multiple seizures.

PS: Actually, I have no idea that today is purple day, that there is such awareness about it. (Shame on me purple lover)
I only found out about it when I received a message from my group in Facebook, For the Love of Purple.
But guess what?! I am wearing PURPLE today! hehehe.. oh well! =)

Spread the awareness! Wear PURPLE!
