THREE WAYS TO CELEBRATE SEVERE ME AWARENESS DAY
Saturday, August 8th is Severe ME Awareness Day. Here are three ways you can celebrate:
1) JOIN THE TWITTER STORM
Tweet all day all the time using the hashtag #severeme
2) BREAK THE SILENCE
Participate in the #sufferingthesilence campaign. Whether you are a caretaker, a patient, or a friend, you can take a photo of yourself in the pose above and share it on social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.).
Use hashtags #sufferingthesilence #MEAction and #severeme (email us or find us on Twitter or Facebook – we’d love to aggregate the photos!)
3) SHARE THE GOOD NEWS
The Open Medicine Foundation has just received an anonymous $500,000 donation for their research on severely ill patients! It will include many bedridden study subjects – the first of its kind.
Which makes for #3.5: donate to the OMF and help them find what the severely ill can teach us about ME.
