I get it, not everyone wants to be an advocate for their condition.
I won’t lie.
It doesn’t pay. . . much, if at all.
And it’s emotionally and physically draining.
BUT, what I will say, is that it is the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done in my whole entire life.
I recently wrote this post about why I’m a National Psoriasis Foundation Ambassador and why you should be too.

This article is important to me because I feel like others should know why I support the NPF as much as I do. They’re a great organization and truly out for Patients. There are some foundations out there that don’t always have the patient’s best interest at heart (*cough* Koman *cough*)
If you want to be an advocate, there are so many places that you can start. But here are two articles, written by two of my top advocate friends that I think are tremendous resources.

Check them out and then let me know what you think of them!
Wishing You A Pain Free Day!
