Purple Walk for Epilepsy Toronto

Purple Walk for Epilepsy Toronto

You’re invited to join us at College Park on June 17th, for our 9th Annual Purple Walk! 

The Purple Walk is BACK on June 17, 2023 at College Park. Our annual Purple Walk is a magical day that’s all about getting involved in your community, helping spread epilepsy awareness, and of course, helping fundraise for Epilepsy Toronto’s programs and services.

Each year over 500 members take up the challenge and fundraise to complete the 5km Purple Walk in downtown Toronto, displaying their purple pride for the whole city to see! So dust off your walking shoes and join us!

Once you’ve registered for the Purple Walk and created your donation page, take photos and videos on your social media to help you reach your fundraising goal and spread the word about epilepsy. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #PurpleWalk and tag @epilepsytoronto!

The Purple Walk is for anyone who wants to participate and celebrate with the community. We want to encourage you to try to fundraise but there is NO minimum donation required in order to be a part of the Purple Walk on June 17th.

Time after time, you have shown us the incredible strength and resilience of the epilepsy community.  So let’s gather at College Park on June 17th for a Purple Walk! We cannot wait to celebrate together!
