Make Fibromyalgia Visible

In honor of National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day, I plan to participate in and raise funds for the Walk of FAME in order to support ongoing research and programs for fibromyalgia.

The National Fibromyalgia Association develops and executes programs to improve the lives of people living with fibromyalgia worldwide.

The Walk of FAME is hosted by the NFA on May 15 and by other dedicated groups around the world at other times on or around National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day.

Together, we hope to “Make Fibromyalgia Visible” on step at a time.

Please help support me and this important cause by making a donation at http://www.fmaware.org/goto/lizz. For information about this awareness and fund raising program, visit http://www.fmaware.org/ and click on ‘2010 Awareness Campaign.”

I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.

Great music transcends time.

Consider the years surrounding World War II, say the decade from 1937 to 1946.

“There’s a kind of romance about the music of that era, even though we were in the middle of a terrible war,” said Valley jazz singer Kathy Donald. “But such music came out of it, such beautiful music. I think it will go on forever.” Continued…
