**We are no longer recruiting for people to take part in the Purple Day® pledge - thank you to everyone who signed up and completed the challenge! If you would like to get involved in supporting our work, visit the 'Support Epilepsy Ireland' page on our website!**

Purple Day® is the biggest fundraising day on the Epilepsy Ireland calendar and an important time for ensuring we have the funds to continue delivering our vital services. This year, on March 26th, take the Purple Day® Pledge to raise money for Epilepsy Ireland ­– your support is crucial. Without the many dedicated people like you getting involved each year, we simply could not do what we do to support people with epilepsy across Ireland.

Your Purple Day® Pledge represents your commitment to our shared vision to achieve a society where no person’s life is limited by epilepsy. Take the Pledge and take on a challenge of your choice to raise vital funds. Ask your family, friends, and colleagues to join you and to donate in support of Epilepsy Ireland.

Pledge to walk, run, hike or cycle while wearing purple and raise funds for Epilepsy Ireland. The challenge is easy; join our community on Facebook, set up a fundraiser and make some noise about getting active in purple on Tuesday the 26th March 2024! To avoid a fashion crisis, we’re even sending out Purple Day t-shirts to fundraisers once you get your first donation! So, let’s lace up our purple runners, don our purple workout gear and hit the street/trails/gyms for a purpose driven exercise.

For the month of March, fellow pledgers will be joining our Facebook group to share how they are preparing for their fundraising activity. You can share your pledge, get ideas, and most importantly, set up your fundraising page. Then, tell your network how you are making a difference for people with epilepsy this Purple Day® and encourage them to support you.

We are looking forward to seeing your inspiring ideas, and sharing your incredible Purple Day® pledge stories!
