Pledge Your Awareness

we challenge you!

Show your support by participating in our 1-day pledge to spread awareness! You can do this many different ways:

Teach someone about dysphagia (don't know much yet about swallowing problems? Hand out this brochure.)
Do some research on your own
Pledge to wear a dysphagia t-shirt. We at BMC will be wearing the one belowT-shirts (pictured below)
Make 3 posts on Instagram about dysphagia awareness (#dysphagia #dysphagiaawareness #eatnow2015)
Eat like someone who has dysphagia for 1 day -- avoid tough solids and thin liquids
Change the consistency of your food for 1 day -- thicken your liquids like some with dysphagia has to do (you will probably need thickener)
A puree diet for 1 day -- consume all of your nutrients in a thick liquid or puree or blended form (ideas here)
Or create your own!

Tell us about your pledge or if you created your own pledge in our
forum where you should document your experience!
