The balloons have been purchased and the punch is being made…we’re going to make NIAW a big deal around here, and we want you on board.
I just agreed to be a part of an upcoming Health Activist Roundtable with WEGO Health (a network of people like me who use the internet and social media to connect with others around health). In honor of Infertility Awareness Week, WEGO Health is holding a panel to raise awareness around Infertility and to educate Health Activists about the needs of our online community as well as the myths and gaps that exist. You can sign up for the panel here: http://info.wegohealth.com/
If you were ever looking for a time to guest blog, now is the time. Hit me up at kim@fertilitywars.com for more info.
I’ll also be participating in the Bloggers Unite for NIAW sponsored by RESOLVE. RESOLVE is the leading organization for infertility issues. RESOLVE is having a national Advocacy Day on April 25, 2012. If you’re in the D.C. area, you can sign up here. For those who cannot be present in Washington D.C. to partake in the events, I’ll be blogging about how to contact your representatives about issues of importance to the (in)fertility community.
I’m also particpating in the American Fertility Association’s Love Letter campaign. This campaign promotes community among those living with infertility by creating a pen-pal program using the soon-to-be-released Infertility Awareness Stamp. Members of the community will be given the name and address of another participant to send them a letter of encouragement and understanding. You can sign up here.
Are you ready for NIAW?
