years ago I was diagnosed with Churg Strauss Syndrome (CSS), a rare and
incurable form of vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels delivering
blood to the organs). I'm not able to do community theatre anymore,
but I love to keep in touch with my fellow thespians and try to attend
plays when I can.</FONT></DIV>

on the Churg Strauss Syndrome Association (CSSA) Board of Directors, and I
am hoping to attend the American College of Rheumatology annual
meeting in Atlanta this November. This is an opportunity for me to
interact with and educate thousands of doctors about the seriousness of CSS and
the need to diagnose it earlier...thereby saving lives. The CSSA operates
on a shoestring, and I am struggling financially myself. If anyone would
like to help sponsor this trip for me, please send a small, tax deductible check
(marked Atlanta) made out to <STRONG>CSSA, PO Box 671, Southampton MA
01073. </STRONG> </FONT></DIV>
