The National Headache Foundation has a great idea. There are at least 36 million Americans who suffer from Migraine disaease. (Yes, look around. That’s one out of every 12 people you know!) If just one million of us gave a dollar each, that would raise a Million dollars for Migraine research! Did I mention that Migraine research is so underfunded that the research is about 30 years behind any other major disease that impacts this many people? Yes, I did, but that’s okay, I’ll mention it again. Please go back and read what we were lobbying for at Headache on the Hill.
Only one out of 36 of us has to participate to make this work. Are you game? Go on over to the National Headache Foundation and give just one dollar!
Teri Robert lets us know about a lovely added twist, just in time for Mother’s Day! Have a mother or grandmother with Migraine Disease? Are you married to one? Is your sister one? How about giving one dollar for Migraine research in her name – a lovely way to recognize her on Mother’s Day! Read Teri’s post The Perfect Affordable Gift for Migraineurs here. The National Headache Foundation is launching the Migraine Million Campaign just in time for Mother’s Day – to raise awareness that this is a genetically based disease. Talk to your Mom about Migraine disease.

P.S. Six percent of men have Migraine disease too. You can give a dollar in the honor of all those Mother’s sons!
