Join us on June 23 in Washington, DC for the inaugural Walk for Headache Health. 💜

Together, we will gather at the Flags for Headache installation in Raoul Wallenberg Park for an evening of community, remembrance, advocacy, and visibility for everyone impacted by migraine and headache disorders.

The evening will include opening remarks, a moment of silence honoring those we have lost to headache disease, and an informal walk along the Tidal Basin toward the Jefferson Memorial and back.

Whether you are living with migraine or headache disease, honoring someone you love, advocating for change, or standing in solidarity with this community, we hope you will stand with us.

Organized in partnership with The Headache Alliance, Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy, Chronic Migraine Awareness, and Clusterbusters.
