This week I have been surprised and a little overwhelmed to find that I have been nominated in 2 categories for the WEGO Health Awards!
These awards are particularly special as nominees are described as a “Patient Leader” and “Advocate” – and I find myself mentioned alongside some Health blogging royalty. A huge honour and very exciting.
“WEGO Health is a mission-driven company connecting healthcare with the experience, skills, and insights of patient leaders. They are the world’s largest network of patient leaders, working across virtually all health conditions and topics. Click here to learn more about their Patient Leader Network. The WEGO Health Awards were created to celebrate those who tirelessly support the mission of WEGO Health: to empower the patient voice. With 16 award categories, the WEGO Health Awards are the only awards across all conditions and platforms, that recognize the over 100 thousand inspiring Patient Leaders who raise awareness, share information, and support their communities – but often without recognition.”
When I was first medically retired, I found the amazing world of bloggers and completely unexpected online support from those who had been through similar health experiences. Strangers who understood – I was bowled over that so many were happy to share experiences & lend an ear, but also to how many are living everyday with a variety of health conditions. This is what inspired me to start PainPals – if I can offer some support as well as take it, give friendship as well as make it and offer some words (I stop short of saying wisdom) and humour about living with a family and chronic illness – then I am happy!
From the blog has come working with the disability organisation Scope, and I have been so pleased to be able to be the online Chronic Pain Advisor – even though my own flares have kept me away at times.
So here I am, nearly 3 years on from my spinal cord stimulator implant and so nearly 3 years on from starting this blog. I find writing therapeutic on so many levels and find myself nominated for “Best Kept Secret” and “Best in Show:Blog” – thank you so much!
If….you would be happy to have a look at my Nominee Profile and endorse me, that would be fantastic. Take a look at some of the other great nominees too!
Endorse me here:
This is so cool and expected too. It’s funny how I thought about your blog too while casting votes for a mental health or organisation I volunteer with.
Your Blog definitely suits the theme and I’ll be endorsing you in your category as well.
Welldone!
