Create Ependymoma Awareness Where You Live!
We are less than one month away from Ependymoma Awareness Day: May 5, 2015! On a local level, we urge you to participate in an ependymoma awareness activity, helping to create a greater understanding of the disease.
You could support awareness in the following ways:
- Share information on ependymoma with another person who has never heard of it!
- Tell your doctor and healthcare providers about Ependymoma Awareness Day!
- Document your awareness efforts on your Facebook page, Twitter account or blog and use the hashtag #CERNbutterfly!
- Educate colleagues, co-workers, school groups and congregations!
- Order and wear an ependymoma awareness lapel pin!
- Wear an ependymoma awareness t-shirt!
- Release white butterfly balloons with the CERN awareness butterfly logo printed on them!
- Seek recognition from your local government or ministry of health!
- Raise funds to help with research!
- Create your own Awareness Day event!
