I’m proud to participate in movements like VeDA as an international partner! Volunteer activities have always been a part of my life since childhood because of the culture of my family of origin! We have always engaged in social activities as a family, and since I was a child, at every stage of my life, we have been a part of a new cooperative and collaborative movement!
In 2010, I started following the world of otoneurology more closely, and since 2014 I have been timidly participating as a VeDA Volunteer, directly and indirectly. It wasn’t until 2026 that I took a big step by idealizing a movement in Brazil called the “Mutirão da tontura”, and because the principles were fully connected with VeDA, I, as an ambassador, linked it to Fiona the Flamingo!
We spread awareness, did evaluations, participated in radio and TV interviews, lives, and webinars, in a movement with professionals, family members, and registered patients from over 70 cities! Across 15 Brazilian states, thousands of people began to hear more about dizziness, vertigo, and balance. We developed a seal called “Ambassador of Balance,” and each active participant received this badge! Let’s keep spreading awareness together for more and more action!
