Vote for Me: Social Health Awards

Hello all.

As I mentioned  last week, I have been nominated again this year for the Social Health Awards. 

This is a new version of the WEGO Health Awards. There are some differences this year, besides the new name. The biggest difference is that there are some new categories, including the two that I have been nominated for:

Revolutionary Researcher: The Revolutionary Researcher category aims to celebrate the patients and caregivers who refuse to let medical jargon and data slow them down! The winner of this category stays up-to-date on the latest research, treatments, and clinical trials. This patient leader has a knack for transforming complex information into layman terms for the greater community to act on.

Creative Contributor: There are so many avenues when it comes to patient advocacy. The Creative Contributor category recognizes the individuals taking a creative approach to raising awareness. Think about patient leaders transforming their advocacy into clothing, cards, jewelry shops, comic creation and more! This category celebrates those bringing advocacy to the marketplace.

I'm honored to be nominated for both.

The other big change in this year's awards is that there is a much shorter time period for endorsements -- June 27 to July 1. So if you would like to endorse me (vote for me), you can do so at this link.

The three people with the most endorsements in each category will become finalists for that award. A panel of judges will then go through everyone's profiles and decide on three more finalists. 

Please be aware that if you are interested in endorsing me, you will be asked to give an email address (to make sure you only vote one time). If you'd rather not give out your email, that's fine -- privacy is important. If you do decide to give me an endorsement, thank you!

 I have a new ASCO post coming in a couple of days.
