Every June is Myasthenia Gravis month, supported by the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA). The purpose is to help the Myasthenia Gravis community in the US and worldwide to understand the challenges and opportunities faced by those diagnosed with myasthenia gravis and their caregivers.Â
The theme for 2022 is Turning Awareness into Action.Â
People all around the world are taking action to boost fundraising, research, and advocacy efforts to support those affected by MG. This includes taking proactive steps like meeting with or calling legislative leaders to secure official recognition of June as MG Awareness Month. People are encouraged to reach out to their local media (broadcast and print) and to push reporters to cover the challenges that MG patients face. The MG Awareness Toolkit gives instructions on how to light up local buildings and structures in the traditional teal color during June. Â
Stepping into the new digital world, supporters are encouraged to add references to MG Month to their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts.Â
The aim is to make as many people as possible know about MG Awareness month – by wearing a teal shirt, holding up a sign, building a banner in the front yard, and then sharing them on social media. Â
