ClusterbustersClusterbusters is dedicated to raising awareness for cluster headache. This form of Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalalgia is considered more painful than childbirth, kidney stones, and gunshot wounds. Cluster headaches are often nicknamed “suicide headaches,” and respond best to high-flow oxygen. Clusterbusters furthers cluster headache research by partnering with and advising medical professionals and innovators to develop new treatments. It educates medical professionals and the patient community in order to reduce time to diagnosis and increase access to appropriate treatments. Clusterbusters’ online and face-to-face support and education helps patients lead their best lives, and sometimes saves lives.

Event Details
Many migraine advocacy non-profits are coming together to host a fundraiser for the Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy (AHDA) annual Headache on the Hill event. This will be a virtual walk, run or just relax event that you complete from your home town at a time that works best for you between June 29th and July 7th.
All funds raised will benefit AHDA to support their annual Headache on the Hill event and provide some scholarship funds to support advocate travel needs.
We will mail you out your swag bag for receipt before June 29th (if you sign up after June 23rd, the bag will be mailed on July 8th) that includes your participant shirt and finisher medal. There may be a few other goodies included too!
As a virtual event, we encourage you to practice safe social distancing recommendations. Remember, our events are not just for walkers and runners. You complete your walk, your run or your own “just relax” activity at a time and place that works for your schedule. Upload your results via a link provided to you a few days in advance of the scheduled event.
