On Tuesday November 18, PHers nationwide will celebrate PH Awareness Month electronically: through blogging, social networking and e-mail. Be part of a movement on November 18 to get PH mentioned on 100 blogs, profiles and web pages across the country.
Being part of the first PH Awareness Blogging Day is easy.
Be counted! Sign up by sending a link to your blog, web page, or social networking page to blogging@PHAssociation.org.
Spread the word! Tell everyone you know about PH Awareness Blogging Day and ask them to sign up too.
Blog November 18! Write a blog, profile, or web page entry or update about PH. Mention what PH is and how it affects you. Include a link to www.PHAssociation.org so that your readers can learn more.
*If you don’t have a blog or web page, you can have your personal story included alongside blog entries. Send it to blogging@PHAssociation.org.
It may say “blogging” in the title, but blogging day is all-inclusive, so get creative. Send us links to your Carepage, PHCentral diary, social networking profile, or personal web page. Or, just send us your PH story. We’ll include it all!
If you moderate a PH group or cause, be sure to update it with information about PH Awareness Blogging day and then post there on November 18. Remember to include a link to www.PHAssociation.org in your post.
Ready to take it one step further? Consider blogging every day during the month of November as a way to raise awareness about the day-to-day challenges of living with PH.
Be personal! Mention your connection to PH, whether you are a patient, friend, family member or medical professional.
Not sure what to post? Something simple can go a long way. “November is Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Month. Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure between the heart and the lungs. Because its symptoms are similar to asthma, it is often misdiagnosed, or undiagnosed. PH is deadly and incurable, but new treatments and new research are creating hope. Visit www.PHAssociation.org.”
Why not e-mail your PH story to your family and friends…you can even make it part of a Web of Friends Campaign.
