2025: Resolutions That Bring Hope

What if your New Year’s resolution could help end loneliness and isolation for someone living with relentless pain?

“Before I discovered TNA, I was really lonely and felt I couldn’t cope with the pain anymore. The support I found changed everything—I finally felt understood.” – Mary, TN Warrior

This year, your resolutions can be about more than personal growth—they can bring hope, connection, and support to people living with trigeminal neuralgia and facial pain. Together, we can make 2025 a year of compassion, unity, and meaningful change.

Your 2025 Challenge: Every Step, Jump, Word (or Silence!) Matters

Step Toward Connection

Walk 2,500 Steps a Day

Pacing during calls, walking around the house, or strolling somewhere peaceful—every step can bring someone struggling with TN closer to support and hope.

Indoors or outdoors, every skip is a step closer to ending isolation for someone living with relentless pain.
