Cari, and all interested on my recent lobbying trip to Richmond (state capital of virginia) i , and three others from my support group, met with Sen Leslie Byrne< This was one of the issues we discussed, and some hing that spoke to her - she even offered an interim solution, though she wishes to discuss with us further during the recess. In Va , and i presume other states, public health facilities distribute literature on subjects such as AIDS AND Breast CAncer. She suggests PD be aDded tp that list, and that the relevant information already existsa at the NIH. We are definitely going to look into this further - its not much but a start in the right direction a few poster on the walls at public clinics may just make the points we need. Hilary ps re pd awareness - sen byrne is going to open the pd awawreness event at Tyson[s galleria 2 - the big ccnpf event on april 22nd. pps i'm crashing.........
