IT'S MORE THAN JUST ONE DAY... A behind the scenes look at PCOS Advocacy Day and how PCOS Challenge prepares you to make a profound difference. BY BELINDA MCCALL, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
A
s a PCOS patient or provider, it's highly likely that you've heard of
PCOS Advocacy Day. In fact, I had heard of it a couple of years ago, but truthfully had no idea what it was about. More importantly, I was unaware of the fact that I could participate in such a powerful day, fighting for the care of people with PCOS just like me. If you feel this way right now, this is your wake up call to join in on PCOS Advocacy Day and let your voice be heard along with women across the country next year. But before you commit to anything, you should know about all the hard work and dedication that goes into organizing such an event. The PCOS Challenge sets up advocates with all the guidance and information they need to make their voices and stories heard to members of congress across the country. As a PCOS patient myself, not only am I impressed by the amount of support that PCOS Challenge provides, but I am moved to share my own story
"PCOS ADVOCACY TO ME MEANS USING MY STORY TO HELP OTHERS BE BRAVE ENOUGH TO SHARE THEIRS. YOUR STORY MAY BE THE KEY TO UNLOCK SOMEONE ELSE’S PRISON." -Shelby Eckard, PCOS Advocate
