____________________________________ Subj: Fwd: NWI SCI Group presentation to the AAMA
Hello everyone, I was honored by a request to present the _NWI SCI Group_ (http://nwiscig.blogspot.com/) to the local Asian American Medical Association this evening. I gave a brief presentation of the history of the group and our projected direction to about 30 physicians in Northwest Indiana. Many were surprised to find out that a group like ours existed. A few even approached me after and said they enjoyed the presentation. This should give us more exposure to others with SCIs (spinal cord injuries) or SCDs (spinal cord diseases) and more funding and activities. It was very well received. I thought I would let you all know what was going on within the group. I also spoke about _Unite 2 Fight Paralysis_ (http://u2fp.org/) and the _Working 2 Walk Symposium/Rally_ (http://working2walk.org/) . This is a good time to mention Bridges 2 Hope. _Bridges 2 Hope_ (http://bridges2hope.org/) is an advocacy tool used to demonstrate how many people there are living with SCI/Ds in a given state or area. I urge everyone to check out the website and submit your picture and story as soon as possible or give them to me to submit under the group name and logo. Sincerely, Joe White Northwest Indiana Spinal Cord Injury Group 219-531-0055 _nwiscig.blogspot.com_ (http://nwiscig.blogspot.com/) -- Joe White Northwest Indiana Spinal Cord Injury Group 219-531-0055 _nwiscig.blogspot.com_ (http://nwiscig.blogspot.com/) **************Start the year off right.
