Every March 26
Purple Day
The worldwide day for epilepsy awareness. Wear purple, and when someone asks why, you have thirty seconds to teach them what to do if they ever see a seizure.
Wear purple.
Start the conversation.
Epilepsy Dove has no events scheduled yet. These are the awareness dates anyone can mark, and the easiest ways to mark them.

Mark It Your Way
You do not need an event to make a difference.
Three things anyone can do on an awareness day, or any day.
Wear purple
It is the color for epilepsy awareness. It starts the conversation for you.
Share the first aid card
Print it for your school, office, or team. It is free: a one-page poster plus cut-out wallet cards.
Tell one person
What a seizure can look like, and Stay. Safe. Side. That is how awareness actually spreads.
Epilepsy Dove events
Nothing is scheduled yet. When La’Shera hosts an event, it will be listed here first.
The memoir
A Smile That Hid Pain
The Silent Battle Behind My Smile, My Mind, and My Strength
This is more than a story about seizures. It is a story about losing yourself, questioning everything you once believed, and finding the courage to listen to the voice within.
Every conversation counts.
An awareness day is just a reason to start one. Learn the first aid, then pass it on.
