Eos Awareness Week: Day 3

Did you know that all of the funding for Eosinophilic Disorder Research comes from private providers. The National Institute of Health currently provides $0 in funding for research for these diseases that are rapidly on the rise.

Today is the day to PARTICIPATE in Eos Awareness Week. A few suggestions given by apfed.org are:
*VIRTUAL WALK – Encourage those in your community to participate in APFED’s

National Eosinophil Awareness Virtual Walk. Get together some friends or your local
support group, Register online, collect pledges, and then meet at local park for a
“Walk” and social event.
*SIGN UP: Take the day to commit to participating in an APFED event, like

attending the conference this summer. Get registered at: APFED 2010 Conference
*ATTEND A LOCAL APFED EVENT: Check the Fundraising Page of the APFED

website to see what events are planned in your area and show your support by
attending. The list will be updated as events come in.
*WEAR YOUR APFED SHIRT: A simple way to participate is by wearing your

APFED t-shirt. If you don’t have one, you can purchase one by visiting the APFED
Store.
