Let's paint the map PURPLE for Fibromyalgia Awareness! 💜
NEW MAP UPDATE for May 2nd!
Look, look!! We're getting there! 😍 Here is this week's update with the additional states updated for the new proclamations we've received.
Thanks to all the individuals and organizations joining us to obtain governor's proclamations for Fibromyalgia Awareness Day and Month! We could not color the map purple without you!
I'll be posting an updated map every Saturday leading up to Awareness Day on May 12th so that you can see the progress we're making together.
If your state isn't purple yet, we need YOUR help! Whether it's contacting your governor or spreading the word, every action counts. To learn how you can help, please reach out to us by commenting below or sending me a message.
Together we can make a difference! 💜

BACKGROUND:
My team has been coordinating efforts with many individuals nad organizations to secure a governor's proclamation in EVERY state to recognize May as Fibromyalgia Awareness Month and/or May 12th as Fibromyalgia Awareness Day. These proclamations are formal declarations that become part of the public record, raising awareness about fibromyalgia and supporting our push for more research funding.
We're proud to be working with several organizations and individuals, including Fibro Warriors ~ Living Life, the Fibromyalgia Association, the Fibromyalgia National Health Organization, the International Fibromyalgia Coaching Institute & Fibromyalgia Podcast, the Sherri Little Foundation, and Veteran Voices for Fibromyalgia.
Let's turn every state PURPLE as we receive the proclamations.
