Sunday was the inaugural World Periodic Paralysis Day! As the founding organization, The Periodic Paralysis Association is proud to be illuminating hope around the world through strength, unity, and connection in the global periodic paralysis community for the first time.
This global day is dedicated to connecting the international Periodic Paralysis (PP) community by bringing patients, caregivers, and advocates together to raise awareness, share experiences, inspire hope, and create change.
Established by a coalition of non-profits, patients, caregivers, and advocates, World Periodic Paralysis Day (WPPD) shines a spotlight on the challenges of living with PP and the urgent need for improved diagnosis, treatment, and care. Together, we aim to:
-Reduce delays in diagnosis
-Increase public and medical knowledge about PP
-Foster a supportive global community
By amplifying patient voices and sharing stories, we can break the silence, reduce stigma, and inspire progress.
On behalf of the Periodic Paralysis Association, we are grateful to everyone around the world who contributed to the inaugural World Periodic Paralysis Day by sharing social media posts, infographics, distributing flyers and posters, sharing personal stories, wearing their WPPD shirts with pride, attending virtual events, and making charitable donations.
Our most heartfelt thank you to our lead sponsor , for making this day possible and to the , , , , and for coming together to change the world for people living with periodic paralysis.
Although the inaugural world periodic paralysis day might have passed, it is important to keep the momentum we have created together raising awareness going all year long!
