A little late for June 21st. I get migraine episodically because of Aimovig but the last few days I’ve had Migraine symptoms fluctuating. I am still doing but my moving is more like saving my spoons, medicating, and listening to my body.

Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful men in our lives 💜

Today, I am relaxing and taking time for self-care, as our event yesterday was an early one! We were met with a downpour of rain, but each year, we will set up rain or shine to spend time with the Migraine community 💜

This year, I am raising funds with my team, Brain on Fire. I will be attempting to swim throughout Move for Migraine as it is something I once loved to do. I used to be a competitive swimmer when I was younger, a lifeguard for many years, and an Aquafit instructor. I loved to exercise and to swim. With chronic migraine, it made it difficult to swim as it could and often would trigger a migraine attack.

With the privilege of medication, a wonderful neurologist, Dr. Spacey, and the help of my Integrative Functional Health Doctor, Dr. Botros, I have been able to get my health back enough to start activity once again. I am using this fundraisor to do so.

I hope you will join me in moving in any way you can to support those living with Migraine and headache disorders. You are not alone 💜

All donations will support Migraine Canada’s programs and initiatives. This includes advocating for better access to treatments and care, raising awareness, developing programs, and building resources. All of this contributes to helping our community and fighting the stigma of Migraine and headache disorders.

Thank you 💜
