I am honoured to say that I have been nominated for the WEGO Health Awards again this year!
Receiving nominations for an amazing NINE different awards, they are:
- Patient Leader Hero
- Best in Show: Blog (read my blogs here)
- Best Kept Secret
- Best in Show: Facebook (see my Facebook page here)
- Best in Show: Community (see my Facebook support group here)
- Best in Show: Instagram (see my Instagram page here)
- Best in Show: Twitter (see my Twitter here)
- Advocating For Another
- Healthcare Collaborator
- Hilarious Patient Leader
- Rookie of the Year
These awards recognise patient leaders who are making an impact with their advocacy work, especially in the online community. It provides the opportunity for their readers to thank and support the health advocates they follow and find helpful!
As many of you know already, I work nonstop in advocating for better awareness, diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s and all its related health conditions and effects to our lives, and when I say that I am passionate about giving thyroid patients a voice and helping as many people as possible, I really do mean it. Thyroid advocacy is my passion.
Keeping authenticity and raw honesty behind my work, I am always open about my own thyroid journey and this is what makes The Invisible Hypothyroidism so unique. I work tirelessly but never get tired of doing what I do.
It’s not always easy to be honest about what we experience with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s. It can get ugly and embarrassing at times (constipation, I’m looking at you!) but it’s so worth it for impact it has on others.
I won one of the awards last year which was amazing and really reminded me why I do what I do and why it’s needed in this world. Thyroid patients deserve a voice.
Now, I have been asked by the WEGO Award organisers to turn to my community to ask you to take a second to endorse (vote for) me.
Endorsements are a way to give nominees a visual show of support and work as ‘votes’. Thousands of people are nominated for these awards but only the top three people with the most votes automatically become finalists. So, by taking a second to vote for me, you’re supporting my nomination for the award, making it more likely that I will then go through as a finalist and have the chance to put thyroid disease in the spotlight.
You have until the end of July to vote for me and it is very important that you vote for me for each of the awards I currently stand for so we have a good chance!
If you have ever found any of my work to be helpful, please consider voting for me.
