World Hypopara Awareness Day 2022

World Hypopara Awareness Day is an annual global awareness and education event, held on 1st June and it’s the biggest day of our year. Every year, events are organised by hypopara patient groups around the world to raise awareness and improve understanding about our rare and challenging condition. For more information or to find a group in your own country please visit our dedicated World Hypopara Awareness Day website.

You are invited to THE party of the year!

The famous annual Hypopara Day party 2022 will be run by Parathyroid UK for 24 hours online and we invite you to join us. Last year people from 28 countries joined in and it was a fantastic social occasion.  Come to the  World Hypopara Day Party group on June 1st and say hello to old friends and new!

This year we ask ‘What’s your type?’ and our aim is to raise awareness about the many different types of  hypoparathyroidism to show that they all result in  similar challenging symptoms and are all so difficult to manage and treat.
What’s your type? Is your hypopara post surgical, autoimmune, idiopathic? Another type? Don’t know? Show us your type and send in your photo on the day. There will be prizes for the most creative adult and child entries. Don’t forget to share your photos and posts about Hypopara Day using the hashtag #HypoparaDay2022
For patients and professionals: 
You can watch this interesting and informative collaboration on the ESE website  or on our You Tube channel.

 

Help us to fundraise
Hypopara patient Chris Short’s life was saved by parathyroid injections and he decided to he wanted to give back. He organised a car rally in Scotland to raise funds for our calcium home tester study. Watch his moving story here
Chris’ fundraising page is still open for donations if you are able to contribute. Help Chris reach £2,000 on Hypopara Day and make his day!

Happy hypopara day to everyone living with hypopara! We hope you have a good day and we can’t wait to see you all at the party

We  hope that everyone, patients and supporters, will help us to raise awareness about the impact of all types of hypoparathyroidism and the need for better care and treatment.
