I am a proud partner and/or stakeholder with the following organizations:
The American Migraine Foundation is the official resource for millions of Americans living with migraine seeking reliable information about diagnosis, treatment and advancements in research. Launched in 2010 as a patient support and advocacy effort of the American Headache Society, AMF’s mission is to mobilize a community for people living with migraine and their support networks, and to drive impactful research into the third most common and sixth most disabling disease around the globe. |
The mission of the Headache and Migraine Policy Forum is to advance public policies and practices that promote accelerated innovation and improved treatments for headache and migraine sufferers. THE HEADACHE AND MIGRAINE POLICY FORUM PROMOTES INNOVATION AND ACCESS TO TREATMENT BY:
Shades For Migraine is a campaign to promote migraine awareness and create a viral buzz for a disease that affects over 1 billion people worldwide.
Migraine disease is more common than Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis combined. Shocking, huh?! You may also be surprised that despite that fact it only gets a small fraction of the available neuroscience research funding and there is a very small number of neuroscience researchers who decide to take on migraine as a project. Migraine disease is not getting the attention it deserves; all the while, millions of people are suffering year after year behind closed doors.
So....on Thursday, June 21, let the world know about it! Let the millions of sufferers know that you care... that you know they aren't faking an illness... that you know much more needs to be done to find a cure and give them relief... that you want to help put migraine in the spotlight.
We will continue our #shadesformigraine campaign every June until there is a cure for migraines.
