> I have been frustrated for years, at the lack of attention received by
> people who have been touched by all types of encephalitis, including
> neuroinvasive West Nile. Society and the media seem to focus mainly

> I am so very proud to share that I have been requested by The 108th
> Congress of the United States House of Representatives Committee of
> Government Reform Subcommittee on Energy Policy, Natural Resources and
> Regulatory Affairs to offer testimony and speak in Washington DC at
> the October 6th Hearing Current Challenges in Combating the West Nile

> I've been trying to raise awareness since I started Encephalitis
