Migraines and Me

I was eleven when I got my first migraine . This is my story about migraines and me .
In the USA the month of June is National Migraine & Headache Awareness month . I found out about it last year when scrolling through social media . I think it ’ s great that now there is a day or month for most things that occur in our world . Social media is a fantastic way to express your opinions , share things with others and find people that are like minded .
The UK version is called Migraine Awareness Week and this takes
place in September .
Sunday 3rd September - Saturday 9th September
I found a website called the Migraine Trust ; they also have Facebook , Twitter and YouTube . They give you the opportunity to fundraise and donate towards finding a cure for migraines . I hope this makes you as happy as it makes me ! Whether you are suffering yourself , or you want to help those that are , there is something for everyone on their site .
You can do any kind of fundraising that you like to help support them in doing more research . I ’ m currently travelling around Asia so I won ’ t be here to fundraise this month , but if anyone fancies giving it a go please let me know and do send photos ! 100 % of your donations will go into research , now that ’ s something I like to hear !
Hiya Bucks says : Perhaps we can create a fundraising idea involving this page and our readers . Please email sensible suggestions to helen @ hiyabucks . com .
It would be great to support research into finding a cure for migraines .
