Migraine and headache disorders don’t just cause pain. They steal time people never get back.

Not just hours or days, but the moments that shape a life. Time with children. Careers put on hold. Milestones missed. Plans canceled. Entire days spent in the dark, waiting for the pain to pass or trying to push through it.

And too often, this is happening in silence.

Millions of people are living with diseases that remain underdiagnosed, undertreated, and widely misunderstood. People are still fighting to be believed, to access care, and to find treatments that actually work.

But that is starting to change.

Across the country, a movement is building to make headache disorders visible, understood, and impossible to ignore.

Through Raise Your Flag for Headache Health, individuals will come together to share their stories, raise critical funds, and stand behind a growing call for change. Every flag represents time that has been taken and a future we are fighting to reclaim.

Every participant will raise a flag for what headache disorders have taken and for a future where people living with migraine and headache disorders are seen, supported, and able to live full lives.

And with every flag planted, that movement grows stronger.

Each dollar raised supports the Flags for Headache initiative, a public art and awareness initiative in Washington, DC and communities across the country designed to make our invisible disease visible and impossible to ignore, and helps drive real, overdue progress.

Together we're demanding:

More research to better understand headache disorders
More treatment options, especially for conditions with few or no approved therapies
More trained headache specialists to meet growing demand
More equitable access to care
And ultimately, more good days for millions of people living with these diseases

This is how change happens; by raising our voices and demanding to be heard together.

So join us!
Raise your flag. Share your story. Be part of a movement that is turning lost time into action.

Together, we can make headache disorders impossible to ignore.
