Join us for the 2nd Annual
Miles For Migraine - Los Angeles
Miles for Migraine will host its second annual 2-mile Walk, 5K/10K Run in LA at Woodley Park. This Fundraiser for Migraine & Headache Awareness, Treatment & Research will take place Saturday December 7, 2019. All donations from this event will benefit the UCLA and USC Headache Centers to support their headache fellowship program & research.
We welcome everyone, even if you are not feeling up for exercise. Consider signing up as an Advocate or a Volunteer instead. Advocates come to the event at no charge. The event is an opportunity to meet others who are dealing with migraine or cluster headache disease, visit our sponsor booths and take part in other engaging activities for the morning. Volunteers all receive a free shirt for their time. Find more information about volunteer roles, including our Thank You Team, by clicking on the Volunteer button to the right.
Dress up in your best purple flair for another chance at a fun prize!

Pain, such as that experienced with migraine, can be disruptive to so many arenas of life. It can also be difficult to explain to others what that pain is like for you. Art can be a powerful tool for expressing thoughts, emotions and conveying experiences to others and a particularly helpful tool in giving a face to your pain that others can begin to comprehend. One purpose of the My Brain Art Tent is to provide people with the opportunity to use different visual art materials to express what their migraine looks like and feels like to them as well as a chance to see the images others have created. What does migraine look like or how are they felt by a caregiver? Our hope is to provide an a space in which people can take time out to tune into their experiences with migraine creatively. Using art to express our experiences with pain can also help reduce pain, either through distraction or through visualizing healing and comfort in the face of a painful moment. Making art may also help shift how you feel about migraine. You are not alone, we are here for one another and when we create art together we begin to celebrate and honor our shared experiences and feel a greater sense of support and belonging.
