PURPLE HEROES
1
Make March Purple is an annual initiative that raises awareness and funds to support people living with epilepsy in Australia. In 2025, the theme is ‘Purple Heroes’, which aims to celebrate those facing the challenges of epilepsy daily, including people with epilepsy, parents and carers, doctors and neurologists, teachers and so on.
You are encouraged to be a Purple Hero and take on a Purple Challenge to show your support. All funds raised are donated to development and delivery of vital epilepsy support services, education and training, and research into finding a cure.
