Migraine Patient Education Day - San Francisco - 2020

Miles for Migraine - Patient Education Day

In a continued effort to create awareness about migraine and headache disease, we are holding our annual

Miles for Migraine Education Day: Creating community and sharing knowledge for people with migraine and other headache disorders, and for their families and loved ones.

THIS WILL BE A VIRTUAL EVENT TO BE HELD ON

SATURDAY, APRIL 25TH FROM 10:00AM (PT) - 12:30PM (PT)

The day will be both informational and experiential. Our goal is for the person with chronic migraine and other headache disease to both learn and be supported. Topics will cover coping strategies, advocacy, reducing stigma, research, and medical advancements. There will be time to join with others in a supportive and safe community.

We have invited local doctors and other providers to give lectures and provide opportunity for open dialogue and experiential participation so that the day is not confined to only lectured information.

Keynote Speaker

Jenn is a patient advocate and the Director or Resources and Advocacy for My Chronic Brain, an online magazine for Chronic Migraine sufferers. She worked for more than 15 years in government affairs and public policy before migraine forced her to leave her career behind. But rallying for causes long been a part of Jenn’s life and turning her illness into advocacy has been a gratifying transition. Jenn is a volunteer with Chronic Migraine Awareness and a US Pain Ambassador, most recently having helped organize the California stop of the State House Tour of the INvisible Project: Migraine Edition.
