The Call to Action: Become a Purple Day Ambassador!
We need you to help promote epilepsy awareness!
We call to action everyone who has been touched by epilepsy. More than 40,000 British Columbians are affected by epilepsy and many more have been touched in their lifetime. The numbers are staggering and funding for our cause is abysmal. This can change but we need you; together we can accomplish more than we ever could alone.
Here are some ideas and ways you can help and get involved: contact your local social and community groups such as Girl Guides, Lions Club, Rotary Club, your provincial and federal politicians, local schools and businesses, and get local media involved!
