Here’s the updated list of places around the world that are lighting up Teal for TN .
Take a minute to see if there is a location near you…
If you’re able too, invite family & friends to join you to see the building, bridge or monument light up, make an evening out of it.
It’s really amazing !
Canada, USA, Japan, Scotland, Singapore, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Qatar, Belarus, London, Columbia, China, Singapore…to name a few
Thanks to the TNnME Light Up Teal Campaign and all the TNers out there getting the word out!
I am so struggling today and I needed this. My heart and soul needed this. Thank you. I am ready to print out T-shirts, start a 5-k for Trigeminal Research. That is after I take my meds numb up my face fall to my knees and thank the universe for another day. I just feel like so much is not known about us and my face hurts trying to explain. This starts a dialogue. Thank you.
I want everyone in the Houston area to know that Houston's City Hall will be lighting up in teal!!! I will be there to take pictures and just reflect on how grateful that I live in a city that will recognize this day for all of us.
I'm working on another landmark, but still City Hall is ready!
If anyone who is interested in meeting up, please contact me.
With any luck we might get a little media coverage to explain why teal and awareness is everything!
I hope everyone gets to enjoy this campaign, where ever they live!
Oh I’m so glad to see your replies and enthusiasm.
My city, Edmonton, in Alberta Canada only approved lighting up a bridge last week. Very short notice BUT 3 of us locally have decided to make the best of it and are inviting family & friends to join us at a local park for coffee and hot chocolate and donuts.
My husband designed & ordered t-shirts through a contact at work and we’ll have teal balloons and some handouts we received from the Trigeminal Neuralgia Association of Canada explaining the basics of TN.
We’ve each sent emails, tweets, and FB messages to local media but we’re not expecting much…
I decided to create a private event (on Facebook) and invited anyone I knew on my “friends list” that lives in the area. I was hesitant, because I don’t post much about TN on there but the response has been amazing!
So wether it’s 10 of us or more that end up showing up it doesn’t matter.
We’re just going to celebrate that awareness is spreading and we are all a part of it.
I’m trying very hard not to worry about how I’ll be feeling the day of, as my husband said, even if I have to just sit in the car to see the bridge led lights turn teal, that’s ok.
Lou, exactly!! My pain is not managed at all, I’m home 24/7 and the excitement /self induced stress over this event is not helping, but it gives me hope for a future where everyone will have heard of TN and research funding will grow as a result.
TNnME, the Facial Pain Research Foundation, LwTN, other support groups and ALL of us can make a difference in the smallest of ways…
