There are just a few days left to make an impact in the 2018 WEGO Health Awards. Endorsements end August 17. Won’t you take just 10 seconds to endorse me and my hyperhidrosis advocacy work?

I’m grateful to be nominated for Best in Show: Blog and Best Healthcare Collaborator: Patient. Here’s what a couple of people who nominated me had to say. Thank you to Matt and the anonymous person who took the time do this.

2018 WEGO Health Awards My Life as a Puddle

As a young sufferer of hyperhidrosis I have found it difficult to explain to others, or even find others who can truly understand my suffering. Maria’s blog has provided me, and undoubtedly many others, with positivity and hope that one day this condition will be more widely recognized, and more successfully treated. Thank you, from one of many.

Maria Thomas Best in Show Blog WEGO Health Awards

Maria is an amazing person and helps and gives hope to so many out there suffering from hyperhidrosis. She pushes awareness and makes people feel like they’re not alone!

What Your Endorsement Means

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again. This award is about YOU, not me. Read more about my 2018 nomination.

If I were to win, my advocacy work would be recognized at the Connected Health Conference co-hosted by the Society of Participatory Medicine in October. I would use this opportunity to continue to be a voice for all of you out there who are suffering from excessive sweating. I know many of you are struggling in silence.

It’s time to end the sweaty stigma. Won’t you help me create hyperhidrosis hope and awareness one drop at a time and take a few seconds to endorse my blog?

Thank you!
