Migraine heroes

Nominate your migraine heroes!

The Migraine Action 'Migraine Heroes Healthcare Awards' are now open for nominations!

Would you like to say thank you to your hero for the help or support they have given to you for your migraine?

We are now accepting nominations for the 2010 'Migraine Heroes Healthcare Awards'. These awards aim to recognise special individuals and teams who have helped you with your migraine. The 'Young Migraineur Star Award 2010' category enables children and young people (aged under 18 years on 18th June 2010) to nominate an individual, group or team they'd like to thank.

They may be a family member, a friend, a teacher, teaching assistant, a club or group leader, or a healthcare professional or medical team. You may be nominating them for all sorts of reasons; they may take care of you when you feel ill, they may have shown you lots of understanding and tried to make things easier for you, they may have helped you to manage the condition, or they may cheer you up when you are feeling down.

You can complete a nomination form online using the form below, or you can contact us and we can send you a form by post or email (call 0116 275 8317 or email info@migraineadventure.org.uk)

Simply tell us why your nominee deserves the award, by the closing date of Friday 18th June 2010, and Migraine Action and members of the Medical Advisory Board will choose the winners.

Shortlisted entries will be invited to a special awards luncheon to take place in London during Migraine Awareness Week (Sunday 5th - Saturday 11th September 2010). Winners will receive special trophies, educational bursaries and vouchers. (Nominators and nominees will also receive a contribution towards travel expenses).

Remember, 'heroes' don't need to have done anything amazing to be worthy of an award. If an individual or team has helped you to cope with or manage your migraine in whatever way this may be we want to hear about it!

Help us to make Migraine Heroes a success by nominating your migraine hero!

If you think other children may like to nominate their migraine heroes but might not know about the awards, you can also download a poster below and ask for it to be displayed at your school or club.

There are also lots of categories for adults who have migraine to nominate their heroes. If you know someone else, like a parent or family member with migraine, who may want to nominate someone they can find out more about the awards by visiting www.migraine.org.uk/heroes
