TALK LIPOEDEMA Activiities for June Lipoedema Awareness Month
"June is Lipoedema Awareness Month, and here at Talk Lipoedema, it is a fantastic opportunity for us to promote awareness. This June, we are celebrating our bodies with the hashtag #loveourlimbs. We have lots of free self-management events throughout the month, see our social media event section for more information, and we are also introducing the #walkinmyshoes2021challenge.
We have set up a fundraising event for anyone who wants to get involved in helping us reach our collective goal of 884,800 steps challenge (400 miles) #walkinmyshoes2021challenge until the 5th July 2021. Anyone can be involved; it doesn’t matter how many steps you take; they can all be counted towards our collective total, no matter how big or small. We want to encourage everyone to #loveourlimbs and do anything that they can to get moving. We want to help people get an early diagnosis and access information and support to help them manage Lipoedema as early as possible.
Every step counts, and we are asking you to get involved in tracking your steps in any way you can. Through a step counter, your smartwatch or mobile. It doesn’t matter if you can only manage a few steps around the house, a daily walk around the block or much longer walks – every step counts. We are tracking all our steps through an app, trac4GOOD, and you can manually add your steps or sync to your smart device or mobile to log your steps or walks.
We want to encourage everyone to get moving in any way they can throughout the month. It doesn’t matter if you don’t do something every day; you can stop and start throughout the month. Every single step counts towards our goal of 884,800 steps (400 miles).
Please feel free to use the hashtags to get involved #walkinmyshoes2021challenge #loveourlimbs; every share creates awareness and helps educate people about Lipoedema. You can visit our social media pages for more information.'
