đź’ś International Epilepsy Day 2026! đź’ś

Every year on the second Monday of February, people around the world come together to raise awareness about epilepsy — a neurological condition that affects approximately 1 in every 100 people.

This year’s theme: “Turning Stories into Action” which could not be a more appropriate theme! If you want to share your story in a new book project we are working on, please reach out to esther@bcepilepsy.com.

We're pleased to announce Isla and Makenna as the recipients of our 2024 Purple Heart Award for exemplary youth in the epilepsy community. These two young ladies were some of our amazing powerhouses during the 2024 Vancouver Sun Run. In addition to taking part in the 2.5 KM Mini Sun Run with their entire family, they also raised an incredible $2,970 for the BC Epilepsy Society through their very own pledge page by calling on their community of family, friends, and loved ones to donate and participate! The icing on the cake was seeing them and their entire family wearing matching purple epilepsy awareness shirts while doing the race. Congratulations Isla and Makenna!

Image Description: This graphic is split into two halves. The top half features a purple background and white text that reads "Congratulations to Isla and Makenna for being the recipients of our 2024 Purple Heart Award!!" with white versions of the BC Epilepsy Society “Over 60 Years” logo and the I AM A VOICE for Epilepsy Awareness™ logo above the text. The bottom half features photos of Isla and Makenna holding their crystal awards from the BC Epilepsy Society.

Today, October 15th, is SUDEP Action Day, a day that raises awareness of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). The theme of this year’s SUDEP Action Day is which puts a spotlight on the barriers that people with epilepsy may face and helps us learn what can be done to prevent SUDEP.

We're pleased to announce Ali and Kirsten Pejman as the recipients of our 2024 Champion for Change Award. They know better than most the impact that epilepsy can have, not only on the person who has the condition but on their family, friends, and loved ones which is why they're on a mission to transform epilepsy awareness and care in BC. They are wonderful supporters of the BC Epilepsy Society and have raised an astonishing $3.7 million to help raise epilepsy awareness and bring funds to advance epilepsy care and research for both pediatric and adult epilepsy patients in BC at BC Children’s Hospital and Vancouver General Hospital through the "Pejman & Friends Epilepsy Fellowship and Research Initiative". Congratulations Ali and Kirsten!

Image Description: This graphic is split into two halves. The left half of the graphic features a purple background and white text that reads "Congrats Ali and Kirsten Pejman for being the recipients of our 2024 Champion for Change Award!" with white versions of the BC Epilepsy Society “Over 60 Years” logo and the I AM A VOICE for Epilepsy Awareness™ logo above and below the text, respectively. The right half of the graphic features a photo of Ali and Kirsten Pejman holding their crystal awards from the BC Epilepsy Society.
