2018 Vasculitis Awareness Month
Welcome to Vasculitis Awareness Month 2018! Our theme is centered on Dreaming Big to positively affect the lives of patients with vasculitis. But dreaming isn’t enough—action is needed to achieve our goals of early diagnosis, more effective treatments, and a cure for our patients!
Below are the resources and tools to help you educate and inform your family, friends, and co-workers about vasculitis! Thank you in advance for your participation in this important activity!
Here’s how you can make a difference….
START HERE: Download and print the VF Bob Awareness Month Checklist
Bob Sahs was one of the VF’s greatest advocates. Since his passing in 2017, hundreds of people have carried on his passion for raising awareness through our VF Bob Campaign. We’ve made it easy to be a VF Awareness Advocate like Bob. Here’s how:
- Download and print the VF Bob Awareness Checklist on the left.
- Check off Bob’s action items as you do them over the next 31 days
- Take a selfie with the checklist and email to the VF office by June 11th! The VF will hold a random drawing of all entries and the winners will receive some fun prizes.
There are eight action items, but you only have to do any five of them to be eligible for drawing. Of course, if you do more than five then Bob applauds you!
Watch. Share. Make Aware!
