Fibromyalgia Awareness
It was one of those brain foggy days yesterday and so I forgot to post about Fibromyagia Awareness Day. It was held on May 12th. There were many different ways people took part in this event.
Some used the suggestion from the National Fibromyalgia Association to ask people to take on the Clothespin Challenge. That’s where you put a clothespin on your finger and leave it on as long as you can. When you are feeling the pain of that clothespin, think of the pain that people with Fibro go through every day. You can take that pin off but those of us with this chronic illness can’t. Some asked people to donate a set amount of money for each minute they kept the pin on.
Others took part in the Walk of FAME (Fibromayagia Awareness Means Everything).
You can still do something! You can help spread the word about this disease, make a donation to the NFA or place a link to the NFA on your blog or website.
If you are doing any type of fundraiser for Fibromyalgia please let me know and I’ll be happy to post your links here.
