Attendees will be asked to start conversations with people on the beach, take pictures and hand out informational cards and sunglasses. If you aren’t interested in talking to others or handing out cards and sunglasses, we still want to see you there! By just being there, you are helping take a stand against migraine!

Organizer

Association of Migraine Disorders

The Association of Migraine Disorders (AMD) is devoted to expanding the understanding of migraine disease and its true scope. Because migraine is a full body condition with a broad spectrum of symptoms, AMD is focused on including many medical specialties in the management of this disease. The centerpiece of this effort is a comprehensive online course to accelerate the training of more medical professionals. For patients, AMD shares the opinions of experts in its series of short podcasts. AMD also believes that migraine has yet to capture the support of the general public and therefore it hosts Shades for Migraine, a playful, collaborative public awareness campaign. Finally, AMD strives to connect and grow an integrated migraine research community.
