I wanted to let you know that the National Fibromyalgia Association has chosen Living With Fibromyalgia to be the centerpiece of their Awareness Day campaign this year. They're trying to get as many groups as possible to show the film around the country over the May 12 weekend. I was wondering if your group might be interested in participating. I know at least one of the film's participants, who lives in Stanford would like to go to an area screening but isn't feeling in good enough health right now to host one herself.
If you're interested, there's all sorts of information on the NFA's website: http://www.fmaware.org/may12.htm
Thanks again for all that you're doing for fibromyalgia education and awareness.
Best,
Daneen
