Colour The World Orange Day ™ 2018
Colour The World Orange Day ™ is an annual event which is always held on the 1st Monday of November every year, to spread awareness of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and this year Colour The World Orange Day ™ is being held on Monday 5th November 2018
This year is the 5th annual event of Colour The World Orange Day™ and on MONDAY 5 NOVEMBER 2018, CRPS patients, their families, friends, carers and supporters all around the world will be helping to raise awareness of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome! It is also known as #CRPSORANGEDAY™ and it usually marks the start of CRPS awareness month which runs the whole of November.
We need all the awareness we can get for this debilitating chronic neuropathic pain condition, so please unite as one family, whether you are a CRPS patient or carer, family member, loved one or friend, or even just a supporter. We ask you to wear something ORANGE and post your picture together with the hashtag #CRPSORANGEDAY™ across social media or decorate your work space in orange ribbons. Let’s get #CRPSORANGEDAY™ trending across all of the social media channels!
