We know it can be difficult, or even embarrassing to have to carry your EpiPen® around when you’re out with friends, but it’s important you always have your EpiPen® and ASCIA Action Plan on/with you. Your EpiPen® is a device that could save your life!
To help reduce the stigma, 250K are hosting a competition to find the most creative and practical ways that you carry your EpiPen®s and action plan. Share a short video of how you carry your EpiPen®s and ASCIA Action Plan on a day-to-day basis and/or during social events and you could win a JB-HI-FI gift voucher valued at $500.
So get creative and show us how you carry your EpiPen®s and action plan with you.
