Nominate Inspiring Caregivers

Know a caregiver who inspires you?  Nominate that caregiver for recognition.  Huff/Post50, in recognition of National Family Caregivers Month in November is seeking nominations for inspirational caregivers.  Rita Wilson, editor at large for Huff/Post50 explains this in her letter to readers

In 2011, we made clear our generation was not ready to “go gentle into that good night.” Our belief is that age doesn’t define us — and that we can still accomplish great things while also having a lot of fun whether we’re 21 or 51 or 81. But our focus on the positive doesn’t exclude reality. And the reality is that many people over 50 have become caregivers to elderly parents, unhealthy partners or ailing friends.

The deadline for nominations is October 22, 2014 at 11:59 p.m. edt.  To nominate someone send an email to Shelley.Emling@huffingtonpost.com, subject line: caregivers, and include the name, contact info and hometown of nominee as well as a narrative (up to 500 words) of why this person is an inspiring caregiver.  Include a photo or a video of the nominee. Selected caregivers will be featured in November issue of the Huffington Post.
