Open your eyes on Richmond's Invisible Illness Awareness Day

Door prizes, interactive experiments, support and advice available at Lansdowne Centre event
Invisible Awarenes
Richmond Centre for Disability is hosting a day packed with fun and information to help people understand there's more to disabilities than wheelchairs and walking sticks.

The Richmond Centre for Disability (RCD) will be hosting its 2nd Annual Invisible Illness Awareness Event on Saturday Sept. 14 at Lansdowne Centre.
From noon to 5 p.m., the event’s theme this year is “Positive Awareness, Education and Self-Management for a brighter future.”
A whole host of interactive experiences are being lined up including: Wearing a weight vest; getting your hand-zapped; experimental writing with your weaker hand and reading with one eye closed.
As well as attracting the attention of people who’re fortunate enough to be fully fit and healthy, Invisible Awareness Day is also designed to connect with the people who need help the most, but might not know where to start.
There will also be lots of door prizes and information on how to access quality support.
