Matthew's Friends provide information and support for children and adults using Ketogenic Dietary Therapies for epilepsy, Glut1DS, and other neurological disorders.

Story

Epilepsy affects over 50 million people worldwide or approximately 1 in 100 people. That is more than multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and Parkinson's disease combined!

How can you help?

We would love everyone to do something for Purple Day. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Wear something purple on March 26th and encourage others to do the same.

Hold a (socially distanced) purple cake sale

Hold a purple themed quiz

Anything you can think of to raise funds and AWARENESS of Epilepsy
