Today is Purple Day, an international Epilepsy Awareness Day started by a then 9 year old girl in Canada. This day finally brings more awareness to epilepsy and seizures. For Empowering Epilepsy, it is our way of bringing people who support Epilepsy Awareness together to create positive, lasting memories.

This Thankful Thursday, we’re celebrating Claire’s journey of strength, resilience, and finding community. 💜 From running the Cleveland Marathon to preparing for a new chapter, her story shows the power of connection through Empowering Epilepsy. Join Claire and the Empowering Epilepsy Team at this year’s Cleveland Marathon and be part of something meaningful: https://www.empoweringepilepsy.org/event-cleveland-marathon

This Thankful Thursday, we’re grateful for the strength of families and the power of community. After a life-changing moment led to Nick’s epilepsy diagnosis, his family found support, resources, and connection through Empowering Epilepsy. Today, they continue their journey together—giving back and helping others along the way.
