World Migraine Solidarity Day is something everyone should know about and support”

Tomorrow - June 21 - is your chance to wear sunglasses anywhere, any time, all the time. It’s World Migraine Solidarity Day and wearing a pair of shades will show support for the more-than one billion humans who suffer from those serious headaches.

The Association of Migraine Disorders has released another of its penguin videos - Show You Care, Wear A Pair II - to give non-sufferers an idea of what it is like for sufferers to be debilitated, and again Bob the penguin is in the spotlight as he finds out what its like to go through a migraine episode. It was created and produced by Chocolate Moose Media.

The video’s goal is to get people to make a statement by wearing any type of sunglasses and posting a picture of themselves on social media with the hashtag #ShadesForMigraine. Because it is a worldwide disease the video is in 10 language versions: English (in American, British, Australian and Irish accents), Spanish, French, Danish, Mandarin, Hindi and Arabic.

“Migraines know no borders but that doesn’t dilute the suffering. World Migraine Solidarity Day is something everyone should know about and support,” says CMM founder Firdaus Kharas.
