We host an informative and award winning website that provides up to date literature and educational material for patients, caregivers and medical practitioners who suffer from or treat Fibromyalgia (FM) or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome(CFS), two very debilitating illnesses. Our charity is completely volunteer run. Over the past year we have filmed and compiled a high quality video that includes interviews with patients, doctors, caregivers and others which we feel will give supportive and helpful information in a more visual media compared with pages of text describing symptoms . We also have developed a web video monthly newsletter dealing with different topics which we believe are of help to patients. We invite you to a launch of this video at 523 St Anthony Street on June 1st (Poster attached with details). The evening is planned to last a maximum one and half hours (tea, coffee and soft drinks available). The invitation can also be viewed at http://www.dunrobincastle.com/VideoProductions/Videos/FMCFS%20Event%20Com... or on http://fm-cfs.ca It would be great if you could print the poster and display it around your area eg. local pharmacy or library. (Set the poster to fit on one page in your print set up.) Feel free to pass the information to anyone who you would consider interested in the topic and invite them to the event.
