September 2009 - Chiari and Syringomyelia Awareness Month





We are thrilled that Governor Manchin has signed a proclamation naming the entire month of September as Chiari and Syringomyelia Awareness Month. The timing is perfect as I am working on the first Chiari Walk to be held in West Virginia in September. This event will take place in one day however our efforts will focus on the entire month of September for Awareness, Education and Research. I am currently talking with members of the West Virginia University Medical School - Neurology and Neurosurgery Departments in order to form a partnership for this event and many more to come.

I would like to thank the wonderful folks working in our state capitol who offered assistance in preparing the proclamation language and answering all of my questions along the way.
