New England Ambassador for Migraine Australia, Inverell's Megan Gaukroger, says Migraine Awareness Month is a great time to learn, but compassion is needed all year round.
The New England Times is joining with many organisations and people around the country going Burple - wearing burgundy or purple - for migraine awareness today for Migraine Australia's Burple Day.
We are all being asked to wear burgundy and purple on Friday June 7 to show our support for the five million Australians who live with this common but misunderstood disorder.
For Inverell's Megan Gaukroger, her family have a long line of volunteering and service to the community going back several generations.
Migraine has been redefined as a genetic sensory processing disorder but the new medications that can manage the complex condition are struggling to get on the PBS.
