The #defypain campaign aims to raise awareness and understanding of chronic pain by sharing stories. Please visit our website. www.defypain.co.uk
The #defypain campaign is co-ordinated by Dave & Laura. As Dispensary Assistants for www.whitepharmacy.co.uk part of our work involves supporting people who have chronic pain. At the beginning of 2015 we decided that we wanted to do something to raise awareness and understanding of the reality of living with chronic pain and #defypain was born. We want people to understand the challenges that pers
istent pain can create, but we also want to show the positive side of living with pain and the courage and determination of those individuals who follow their passions in spite of their pain. We think that the best way to show the realities of living with pain is to ask people to share their stories. We hope that you will find the stories we share interesting, informative and enjoyable. If you do not suffer from chronic pain, we hope these stories will help you to empathise with the difficulties faced by the estimated 1 in 5 people who do. If you are facing chronic pain yourself, we hope you will feel encouraged and inspired by these stories of people facing up to the challenge of living with pain. We would love to hear your story too. Please see the 'Get Involved' page of our website for more information. www.defypain.co.uk/get-involved/
