October really is one of those months where you suddenly realise just how many different awareness campaigns, causes and communities there are. ❤️
We’ve seen so many of you sharing your own personal awareness posts this month — talking about things that affect you, your children, your families, your friends and the people you care about.
And honestly… there are far too many for us to give each one the individual post it deserves!
So instead, we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge as many as we can. 🫶
Every one represents real people, real experiences and real reasons why awareness matters.
Some awareness campaigns might be personally meaningful to you. Others may be something you’ve never needed to think about before. Either way, learning, listening and understanding can make a difference.
From neurodiversity to loss, and pretty much everything in between…
For anyone else wondering what October hides, or looking for awareness just like I was…
