Only Two Weeks Away – Get Your Shades Ready!
That’s right, this year’s #shadesformigraine challenge is only two weeks away! So pull out your sunglasses and get ready to post to your blog or social media or wherever!
What’s this all about? Well, Shades for Migraine was started only four years ago (yes, here I am in 2017!) by the Association of Migraine Disorders to promote awareness about migraine and migraine sufferers. The social media campaign uses the hashtag – you guessed it – #ShadesForMigraine!
There are actually several easy ways to help. First, and most obvious – snap a picture of yourself wearing sunglasses, post it to social media, and use the hashtag.
But here are some other things you can do:
- Challenge your family and friends to join you!
- Wear unusual sunglasses, or wear sunglasses in an unusual place. When people ask you about it, tell them what it’s for and share a quick fact about migraine!
- Post a meme ahead of time – there’s a nice selection right here.
- Tag a celebrity with migraine – try to get them to join the campaign! – again, there’s a link to a current list here, or you may know someone else to tag.
- Donate to Shades for Migraine and get some official shades or other items!
- Become a Community Leader (details here)!
