*Make Posters - HS awareness poster, get creative, or don’t, there is no right or wrong, take pics and please share
*Light a candle for HS - This is a very beautiful ceremony that we have done every year. You can dedicate it to somebody; it can be an honor of the warriors we have lost. You can do this during the day or night. Light a candle (you can use fake candles too) but please partake in this and send your photo or post your photo using the hashtags. This is a great way to end our Healing for HS walk.

Why We Walk
Three years ago, Wanda Lee of Minds with Motion, LLC started this tradition as a mom who wanted to walk to bring awareness to Hidradenitis Suppurativa, a hidden disease that her daughter lives with. It has since turned into a GLOBAL event! She rounded up her closest friends and they helped her with the first walk in the United States, which went virtual. The people that Wanda has met along the way are a major reason she has made it her mission to keep building this walk! It is so important to share, connect and give hope to folks living with this disease. They can struggle emotionally, physically and mentally. Everyday she sees her daughter face these challenges with her daughter, and that is what keeps this mamma bear going!
LIMITED HEALING FOR HS WALK SHIRTS CAN BE PURCHASED HERE!
Thank you!
