Awareness Daze : from Acts of Kindness Day to Zombie Month by Dan Brotzel

National Wash Your Nose Day, Feeding Tube Awareness Week, Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day... On January 1, 2022, Dan Brotzel decided to observe a different awareness day every day for a whole year. He had no idea what he was letting himself in for. Dressing up as a gorilla then a daffodil, growing a 'tash (sort of), eating fish fingers with custard, working for a food bank and signing up for a marathon, Dan both learned a lot and amassed a huge collection of wristbands. He met fascinating people: a town crier, a hermit, a man born intersex, a stationery fetishist. Some people were facing life-changing challenges while others were movers and shakers in the strange world of made-up holidays. As the days passed, he wondered what it all meant, in a world where World Lymphoma Awareness Day clashes with National Double Cheeseburger Day. By turns touching, funny and thought-provoking, Awareness Daze is a unique reflection on the days of our lives and the ways we choose to fill them.
