Purple Day Merchandise: June 1st

I wear my purple day merchandise for migraine awareness month. June 1st begins migraine awareness month. Help promote migraine and headache awareness by participating in the National Headache Foundation’s initiative: Wear Purple to Work. Wear purple and post your photo to show solidarity for the millions of people in America living with migraine disease and headache disorders. June is an important time to share, comment, donate, and be part of bringing migraine and headache disorders to the conversation.

This year, we decided to dye my daughter’s hair. Usually, she is a swimmer and we couldn’t consider playing around with color that would be washed out in the pool.  But this year, things are different and she wanted to try. Her swim season has already been canceled and she is ready to support, so why not? It didn’t turn out super purple, but she is thrilled with it. Plus, the purple kool-aid leaves her hair smelling yummy! *check out how she’s wearing her Autism Walk tshirt.  

Migraine Awareness Month 2020

Migraine Awareness Month 2020 gives many opportunities to participate in any way you can.  Check out some ways to participate all month. Simply by wearing purple today you can take a small step towards bringing migraine and headache disease to the attention of others.

Raise Money and Purple Day Merchandise

All month long I will be raising money for Miles for Migraine Cincinnati and will be continuing my fundraising in July for Cleveland.  Please donate!  A small donation helps in a huge way!  Money from Cincinnati will go to UC Health and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. You’ll see me posting pictures of events and I always wear purple.

Let’s Talk about Headache at Work or Home

NHF organizes ways to raise awareness at work beyond “wear purple day.”  Many people are home due to Corona Virus but it is still important the need for employer accommodations for those living with headache diseases. The migraine at work campaign has tools employers and employees can use.  I have written many posts about working with migraine. Here’s some of the most popular:
