CHALLENGE YOU // Whatever struggle your story involves, having an acknowledgment that the struggle is real is a huge piece of healing.
I waited for 20 years to have my struggle validated, to find a diagnosis. I exposed my children in utero to my illness. I missed out on much. I know that my path was my path for a reason, but I also don’t want for others to have to wait so long. So, I did something. I helped organize an awareness campaign – grassroots, patient driven. To our surprise it’s been wildly successful and celebrities, athletes, politicians, and doctors the world over have joined in. It’s simple. It’s fun. It’s important. So now, I challenge you.
1// Take a sour bite selfie and post to social media.
2// Share a fact. Many people get the facts wrong, so go to lymediseasechallenge.org because the entire point is to get the facts right! ?
3// Tag three friends to challenge them too.
And in addition to you, I’m tagging @philosophiemama @amyrenenewman and @mparkestudio because they are smart women who you should be following if you aren’t and they are allies for those looking to heal. Hoping they’ll join in as well. ?: @dstruephoto (talented and generous)
