Migraine Million
Help Us Raise One Million Dollars for Migraine Education and Research.
The National Headache Foundation has launched the Migraine Million campaign to rally one million of the nearly 30 million migraine sufferers in the United States to each donate $1 for migraine education and research. Imagine what we could accomplish if each contributor gave even more than a dollar!
What is my donation doing for people with headache?
Consider this: Data show that migraine alone is the 12th most disabling disorder in the U.S. today, yet headache research does not receive nearly as much funding as needed to help millions of sufferers compared with other diseases that are less prevalent. Less than 1% of research funding from the National Institutes of Health research goes to headache. Yet, more research is exactly what is needed to understand headache causes which will ultimately result in better and more effective treatments.
Promoting migraine awareness and education is the first step toward helping sufferers find relief. Studies show that more than half of sufferers never received a physician diagnosis. By educating migraineurs about the benefits of taking a more proactive role in their care, including tracking headaches and understanding personal headache patterns, sufferers can enjoy an improved quality of life.
That is why the NHF is looking for your help to “Raise a million, to Help Millions.” The NHF uses 82 cents of every dollar donated to support the programs and services that we provide to improve the lives of headache sufferers.
Your gift puts us closer to our goal. One dollar at a time, we can improve headache care!
