About Us

Welcome to my annual event, The Purple Ball 2026 – held in memory of my beautiful daughter Johdi who sadly died from Sudep – sudden unexpected death in epilepsy on 5th Oct 2017 aged just 17.

Raising awareness and much needed funding for Sudep Action, and Epilepsy research, the charity's that have supported me since Johdi died.

Again we have had some amazing support and possible sponsorship.
This is a black tie event where I ask that everyone please wears a purple item (a hanky or a hair pin will suffice).
We have entertainment, a live band along with the awesome 'heads and tails' party game, and a few extra surprises this year of which will be announced soon.

We are excited to be returning to the original 'home' of The Purple Ball this year – The Grand Pier Weston super Mare.

Please note: Should you choose to pay a deposit amount (1st HALF ticket), you will be asked to pay the remainder of your ticket price 30 days later.
