In 2017 we created The Mike Pollock award to honour our late, much missed chairman. We wanted to do something special in Mike's memory and so now, each year, this award goes to a CH hero in the UK. Someone who has shown outstanding and compassionate support to cluster headache sufferers.
The first two recipients of the award were Darren Hamilton, who is well known in the CH community for his commitment to helping other sufferers and Tracy Wakefield who has supported our charity with her many fundraising events (extra miles, for sure!) and who therefore shows support for all CH sufferers. Worthy winners indeed.
Once again, we want to hear your stories about your own CH hero - anyone who has gone that extra mile to help either yourself personally, or cluster headache sufferers in general. We look forward to receiving your stories. The winner will be chosen by our membership from nominations submitted by the cluster headache community in the UK.
Voting for OUCH trustees/officers or a previous winner is not permitted.
Closing date for nominations: 6pm Saturday, 23rd November, 2019.
