I am thrilled to say that InvisiblyMe has been nominated in 5 categories for this year’s Wego Health Awards! For those that aren’t familiar with Wego, here’s a look at what the awards are, how they work & who’s nominated.
Update : There have been some last minute nominations & it turns out InvisiblyMe has now been kindly nominated for 8 awards!
What Are The Wego Awards & How Do They Work?
The Health Awards are hosted by Wego, a platform connecting patient leaders in order to transform healthcare. Wego Health consider influencers, e-patients, collaborators, bloggers and advocates to Patient Leaders, and the Wego Awards are their way of celebrating the achievements of such individuals.
The Wego awards started back in 2011 and so 2020 marks the 9th year of this annual event. Due to the pandemic, this year’s awards ceremony will be held vertically in early October, with more details TBC.
The winners are anticipated to receive a $500 cash prize for use with travel or advocacy efforts, a Wego Health 2021 Patient Leader Advisory Board Seat (estimated at $1,500), an the opportunity to be featured in the HLTH’s webinar series along with industry exposure.
Voting (referred to as ‘endorsing’) starts on 1st July. There will be six finalists in each category this year. Three of these will be automatically chosen as the individuals with the most endorsements. The other three will be chosen by the judging panellists. Judges will then assess each finalist against scoring criteria to decide upon the winners in each category.
Find out more about the awards at Wego here (now called the Social Health Network).

Want To Endorse InvisiblyMe?
There’s no pressure whatsoever to endorse or comment here, but if you’d like to show your support by voting then that would be wonderful. I would be honoured if you’d like to vote for InvisiblyMe in any or all of the nominated categories.
I debated for a while whether to post this and share on social media. I hate – hate – anything like this where you have to ask for votes, especially when you have enough self-doubt to fill the Pacific. But I want to give credit to those that initially nominated me in the first place, because I am honoured and greatly appreciative of that kindness.
I’ve already nominated a few other bloggers and have endorsed many since the voting opened as there are a lot of wonderful bloggers out there. Although I don’t stand a chance at winning, just being recognised myself and being able to show appreciation of others for their work is amazing. I’d recommend checking out the other nominees too as you’ll find a range of amazing bloggers with great content.
♥
Should you wish to kindly endorse me – which nobody should feel they have to by any means – you can do so here.
♥
I would like to say a huge thank you to all of you. To everyone that reads, subscribes, lurks, comments, likes and shares. To everyone who has become a friend. To all those who have nominated and endorsed me in the Wego awards. And of course thank you to the fellow bloggers, whose content we can all enjoy. I’d also like to give a huge congratulations to all the other nominees in this year’s awards!
Without you all, I wouldn’t still be blogging today. I may not have been here at all today. So thank you, truly and deeply. You all matter and you all make a difference. Now, how’s that for a BAFTA speech? ????
Update : Voting has now ended, thank you.

That’s strange. There seem to be a few glitches with Wego this year, so I’d add the log in problems to the list of general weirdness. Thank you very much for voting, Melinda. It means a lot to me. I’ve already voted for you & will be keeping my fingers crossed! xx

You have such a sweet and humble nature, Caz. Every nomination you got is well deserved and I hope everyone endorses because you are completely deserving of every accolade, my friend! I certainly did! I hope you enjoy the spotlight at least a little. Uncomfortable as you are to be there, you truly belong. Xx
Aww that is so kind of you to say, Mykie. Believe me, I am super uncomfortable. I’m still not sure whether I’ve done the right thing in making this public, but at the same time I didn’t want to see ungrateful of the initial nominations by ignoring them either. Well, it looks like we’re Wego sisters this year! ???? xx
I am so glad you decided to tell us about this award. You advocate for others, so why not let the people that get help from your website nominate you? Caz, this is so well deserved by you. Even if you don’t win (hey who knows?) you are nominated!!! Awesome!!!!
I’ll never win and that’s absolutely fine by me. More than fine, I’m stoked to have been nominated and any vote received is an added bonus. I’m still very uncomfortable sharing this, it feels very wrong. But I’m hugely grateful for your kindness as always, thanks, Darnell! I hope you have yourself a good weekend ahead my friend.xx
If any one deserves this Caz you certainly do. I went and endorsed and it was my pleasure 🙂
I’m honoured that you voted – thank you, Margaret! ???? I hope you’re keeping as well as possible lovely xx

Congratulations, Caz!! I am ridiculously proud of you and excited for you. You deserve the recognition, the nominations, votes and the wins coming your way! Lord knows I pray nothing but the very best in life for you. You do so much for others and your friendship is valued.
I’ve nominated you in each category. Although, I must admit, my heart broke when I read that you didn’t feel you could win. I completely disagree! You just might be surprised how powerful your voice is in the blogging community! Self-doubt is a liar, ya know. 😉
Thanks for who you are & all for all you do to make this world a better, brighter place. It is because of you! ♥
You are way too kind to me, Holly, and too kind about my blog (but I’ll take it and say a huge THANK YOU!) I honestly, 100% believe I stand no chance of winning and so accruing votes isn’t what I want to do. I wasn’t sure about posting this, and I’m still not sure as I feel very uncomfortable with it, but I didn’t want to ignore the nominations that person(s) initially made. I am very honoured for each and every vote, as well as every comment I receive on here. The blogging community has been such a blessing and I’m very lucky to have found and made some wonderful connections and valued friendships. Thank you, Holly ♥ I hope you have a restful weekend lovely.xx
Caz, I have endorsed you. Seriously, I don’t know anyone more deserving. The support you give to others, even just in the blogging world, is second to none. I’ll have my fingers crossed for you.
Aw thank you so much, Liz. I wish I could do more, but I feel like I’m struggling to stay afloat at the best of times. The blogging community means a lot to me and I’m honoured to have met so many amazing people in it. These friendships, like yours, are priceless ???? xx
PTL! Congrats on your WEGO Nominations, Caz!
Endorsed (aka voted).
Praying you are doing well, friend!
Me and God love you!
That is very much appreciated, Gail. Thank you! ???? I hope you have a restful, low-pain weekend lovely xx
You are so deserving Caz. Congrats!
It’s very kind that you think so – thanks, Michele! xx
Wow, well done. Congrats on your nominations!

Absolutely endorsed Caz, I can’t think of anyone who deserves it more! You are supportive, kind, informative and I just can’t describe what a treasure you are to the chronic illness community and also the bloggers within it. So many best wishes and luck coming your way. Jen xxx
Wow Jen, that is so kind of you to say. I feel awful getting praise like this because I just don’t see it myself, but I’m learning to take it gracefully – thank you! ♥ It really does mean a lot to me, and I’m so glad to be a part of this community.xx
Congratulations !
Thanks very muchly! ????
CONGRATULATIONS, Caz!!! Cheers!!! ❤️
Aw thank you, Katy! I appreciate that – have a lovely weekend ???? xx
That is very cool! I went and endorsed you, good luck, I hope you win! (I would have had the Oceanside Animals endorse you, too, but the form appears to be only for us humans. As Dennis the Vizsla would have said, “Owtrayjus diskriminayshun!”)
Nawww that’s very kind of you, James – thank you! One day, online forms will be more accessible not just to people and people with disabilities, but to animals too! ???? x
Absolutely deserved!!
That’s very kind of you to say, thanks lovely! ???? xx
Wow, Caz!! I filled out the form and hope you get the awards. Regardless, I know you are well on the way to many more nominations and achieving awards!! You’re AMAZING.
That is incredibly kind of you, Christy, thank you! I spotted that you’d nominated me in a 6th category & dropped you a Twitter message yesterday. You made my week, thank you! I hope you’re keeping as well as possible lovely ♥ xx
