This year’s theme is “Make Fibromyalgia Visible” and the goal of the movement is to bring hope to everyone with FM. Fibromyalgia Awareness Day aims to increase awareness of FM and provide support to those coping with the illness. This is a time to increase awareness of this chronic and life-altering disorder by educating the general public, healthcare professionals, government officials, and legislative bodies.

PLEDGE TO CARE and encourage others to join the NFA in its national advocacy efforts. The program consists of three pledges: the NFA’s pledge to the FM community, the family’s and friends’ pledge to someone special in their lives who suffers from fibromyalgia, and the healthcare providers’ pledge to the patient. Click here to complete the pledge. Your name is added to our virtual “We Care” pledge wall – a testimony to the far-reaching effects of Fibromyalgia.

SHOW YOU CARE by placing one or more of our “Make Fibromyalgia Visible” products on your car or other prominent location. The NFA has three new products specifically designed for this campaign.
