I am humbled by the turn out of our members and stakeholders, who took photos of the landmarks which were Lit up in Teal all around Australia. Our Association members and Facebook members of the two groups below, made sure we had photos of the Eastern Coast sites.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Julia McDonald – the Secretary of the Trigeminal Neuralgia Western Australia, who organised photographers for the sites in Albany, Perth, Geraldton and Broom
We had a few minor issues – unfortunately Albany City Centre was not lit up, and The Glasshouse, in Port Macquarie lit up during the day which was not the agreement. Broome Water Tower lit up in a fetching red colour, however – with the magic of desktop design apps we changed the colour to blue.
Despite the difficulties, we created a buzz. Sufferers of Trigeminal Neuralgia could see a beacon of hope highlighting some magnificent buildings. We know that the Teal Light provided support and a feeling of community to all sufferers.
I would like to thank Helen Tyzack our Vice President – who wrote the media releases and contacted media outlets all around the country, liaising with sufferers in each location to personalise their stories.
Townsville Bulletin wrote up a story about Haley Plaza in Townsville.
MYGC here on the Gold Coast also published a story about our event
I would like to thank our newest committee member Sarah Wilkinson, who created advertising posters for the facebook group pages to highlight the buildings to be Lit up in Teal. The posters allowed our sufferers to attach their pictures if they wished, to those posts. She and her husband Samuel, braved the pouring rain in Newcastle, and took some wonderful pictures of the Town Hall Clock
I would also like to thank our wonderful Support Group Leaders who took photos or arranged for photos to be taken. We cannot function without you highlighting our activities at each Support Group Meeting
I will be providing slides to Toni Saunders the founder of the Light Up In Teal Awareness Day
I have put together a little video with the pictures we have received and there are a few more to be added. I am still working on the file – but hopefully you will enjoy what we have put together so far.
Trigeminal Neuralgia International Awareness Day October 7th 2022
We are delighted to announce that we are launching a new online Support Group Meeting in the Lockyer Valley area. Our new Support Group Leader is Kim O’Donnell – you can read her story here.
Kim has a background in counselling, helps run her family business and deals with the day-to-day challenges of living with and managing Trigeminal Neuralgia. Kim has worked through the Training Modules created by our Association to support our volunteers who are providing assistance, empathy, advocacy and education within the safety of a Support Group Meeting.
The changes imposed on us all through the two lockdown covid years, has taught us we do not necessarily need to be face to face in the physical world, to support sufferers. We are utilising technology to enable our sufferers in Regional Areas to be able to connect and feel safe in our online space using the zoom platform and to feel part of our growing community.
The first meeting will be held on October 11th at 10.30am, a few days after our International Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day on October 7th when we are lighting up cities around Australia in Teal. In Brisbane the Victoria Bridge will be lit up on the eve of our day on Oct 6th and on the 7th the Gateway Bridges will look magnificent in Teal. We had also put in a request to the City of Toowoomba but have not yet received a response.
If you are a Trigeminal Neuralgia Sufferer and live in the Lockyer Valley area or are in a region that as yet is not covered by our current support group network, please contact Kim, join her for her first meeting, allow her to help you in your journey. We know that for many, this is the first step, and you don’t have to be a member to attend.
See you all there – remember
