How Do You Spread Awareness About A Health Condition?

My Rockin Disabled Life

Hi friends, my name is Sarah and I struggle more than most people because of a condition I have called Spina Bifida. The media has wrongly portrayed the disabled community for many years which makes disabled people face all kinds of discrimination. My hope is to help you better understand what it means to be disabled and what it is not.

    Really fab suggestions, Sarah! This is a great way to inspire and encourage people to speak up and make a difference, in whatever capacity they can. It doesn’t take a huge gesture to raise awareness, and the internet can make it much more convenient, too.

    I like how you’ve noted that some conditions can get a lot of attention (the first thing I thought, while not a chronic illness or disability per se, is breast cancer, as it gets a lot of media publicity, public fundraising campaigns and so on), while others are very underserved. Much of the public would never have even heard about the likes of trigeminal neuralgia. I’ve learned a heck of a lot about different conditions and the actual experience of them from bloggers like yourself. The impact of blogging and sharing our stories should never be underestimated. 🙌

      Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it! Yes, your right blogging should not be underestimated because I have learned a lot about different disabilities and chronic illnesses such as yours that I didn’t even know existed until I started my blog. Blogs should definitely get more recognition and we should stop talking about the same disabilities in the public because every chronic condition could use more awareness!
