National Headache Foundation

Erin Hamlin, who recently joined with the National Headache Foundation (NHF) as their spokesperson, is helping to raise awareness about the personal nature of headache. Erin will help the NHF launch Headache U: It’s All About YOU patient education program during National Headache Awareness Week, June 7-13.

Erin, who was named 2009 USA Luge “Female Athlete of the Year” has suffered from migraine throughout her life and professional career and knows the importance in raising awareness to help others overcome this debilitating condition.

“I owe it to my country, teammates, fans and family to be at the top of my game, and learning more about my headache patterns with the NHF tools is helping me – and others – achieve that,” Erin explains.

The National Headache Foundation is a nonprofit organization that has been helping people with headache for nearly 40 years.  It is a source of help to sufferers’ families, physicians who treat headache sufferers, allied healthcare professionals and to the public. The leaders of the organization are world-renowned experts in the field who have pulled together many easy-to-use tools and resources to help people better understand headaches and options for headache care.  For more information visit www.headaches.org.
