May 12, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm MDT
Messages of Hope, BHC’s annual ME/CFS and FM Awareness Day event will take place on Wed, May 12, at 11 am over Zoom.
Bring your message of hope and shoes to hold up during the live interactive segment of the program.
The message of hope, support, and inclusion to fellow community members can be a word or statement written on a plain white piece of paper. You can also hold up a piece of art or craft that represents your message. The shoes are to represent a part of your life that you are missing. #MillionsMissing
