September 13-19, 2010 is National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week. This annual event, started in 2002 by Lisa Copen, features a variety of ways to get involved including a virtual conference September 13-17 online for free with speakers each morning 10:30 – 12 USA Pacific time.
There is a Meme “30 Things You May Not Know About My Invisible Illness,” you can sign up to blog for the cause, read guest bloggers’ posts, and get involved in the campaign on Facebook. Receive a free 80-page ebook offering 263 tips on living well with chronic pain and illness when you sign up for daily email updates. This ebook was authored by 20 experts and addresses a range of daily life issues, including my own 10 tips on homeschooling with chronic illness. (If you want the ebook and don't want to commit to ongoing emails, even though they really are great, you can always sign up and unsubscribe after you download the ebook resource.)
With nearly 1 in 2 people living with a chronic condition, about 96% of those people are suffering silently with invisible illnesses. See InvisibleIllnessWeek.com
