Go purple to support kids with epilepsy
Dear Editor
I am writing to ask your readers to turn their world purple for epilepsy this Purple Day. The international day of epilepsy awareness, Purple Day falls on Tuesday 26 March and sees people across the globe come together to dispel the myths that surround epilepsy and share their stories. National charity Epilepsy Action would love for your readers to get involved.
There are around 55,000 people living with epilepsy in Scotland. This Purple Day (26 March 2019) you can help more kids and families live better with their condition. Donations are vital in funding our UK-wide network of support groups. They bring together parents and carers, giving them the confidence to deal with a diagnosis. Fundraising supports nurses, helping them to explain epilepsy to children in a way they understand. It also helps us to get vital resources to teachers, giving them the tools to help kids with epilepsy thrive at school.
Whether it’s giving purple makeovers, baking purple cakes or throwing a purple party, there are countless ways to celebrate Purple Day and fundraise too. Getting involved couldn’t be simpler. By visiting epilepsy.org.uk/purple, or calling 0113 210 8851, you can request your free Purple Day fundraising pack. The pack contains everything you need to make your fundraising a success. Epilepsy Action directly supports over two million people every year. The money we raise on Purple Day will mean we can help even more.
Yours faithfully,
Amy Hesselden
Fundraising events officer, Epilepsy Action
