Dear Friends and Members
I hope you are well
As we approach International Trigeminal Neuralgia Day on the 7th of October, we are asking if you or your friends and family will take on the “Face of TN” Challenge (#FaceofTN challenge). We know, in fact, that, for many suffering with TN, touching the face can be a trigger for an attack.
The Challenge:
1 Draw the Trigeminal nerve on your face in removable colour,
2 Take a close-up selfie.
3 Post your picture on your online social media & nominate your friends to do the same.
4 Donate and request donations to help others suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia.
Text: TNA to 70470 to donate £5.00
If you wish to donate a different amount Text TNA and the amount in a figure ( TNA3 =£3 TNA10 =£10 TNA15 =£15 TNA20 = £20 up to a maximum of £20)
£5.00 enables us to send out 2 membership packs
£10 will help towards our helpline
£20 will pay a membership for someone who is in financial difficulty but needs our help
Often, for me, having an attack can feel like shards of glass digging in my face, or like very disturbing electric shocks. Having pain that no one can else can appreciate or see is both difficult and isolating.
Seeing this actually demonstrated visually was a very emotional and shocking experience
Donations, enable us to continue our work in supporting TN sufferers, educating Healthcare Professionals and sponsoring Research to help to find a cure for what is one of the most painful condition a human can endure continually
With warmest regards
Aneeta
