HS AWARENESS WEEK 2023
HS Awareness Week Support Group
Hidradenitis and Me will be facilitating a global virtual support group session on Tues June 6, 2023 from 7pm-8:30pm EST. During this group participants will get the opportunity to meet and greet other people living with HS, share their HS journey, and discuss the importance of having a support system as well as accepting our condition while embracing life.
HS Awareness Walk and BBQ
Join us for an awareness walk and BBQ at Rosalea Park in Brampton, Ontario. Participate in a short 20-minute walk within the community wearing purple and displaying posters that bring awareness to HS. The walk will take place from 11am to 11:20am, followed by a catered BBQ and fun activities, such as face painting, music, and more.
