2/9 - 12/14 Fibromyalgia Support Group This group is a part of the National Fibromyalgia Association. It is a non-profit group that meets once a month to offer hope and support and answer questions for those suffering with this debilitating condition. We meet the second Tuesday of every month in the front conference room at the Thomas Medical Center in Daphne. The meetings begin at 10:30. At this time we are trying very diligently just to get the word out to people because there are so many people suffering with this condition and many of them have no answers/help on ways to improve. As of now, the group members have been requesting various speakers that they would like to hear from and each meeting we plan to have a speaker come and talk about drug free alternatives to finding relief and regaining their life. Furthermore, it is estimated that about 10 million Americans suffer with Fibromyalgia meaning that many people right here in our area have this condition and have little or no options other than numerous medications which only help them to "get by" but often do not allow them to function normally and live their life as they once did. We are the only NFA Support group in the area, the closest one being around Birmingham. Its just very difficult to get the word out to people. We really feel that if we could do an interview (such as the one we did on 93BLX) on multiple stations we could reach a wide variety of people who may have this condition or know someone who does. If you need any more information or have any further questsions, feel free to reply to this email (hullhouse@gulftel.com) or call me at home 251.964.7118. Thanks again for your willingness to help! I'm looking forward to hearing from you again soon. 10:30AM, at Thomas Medical Center in Daphne

8/13 - 9/13 TV series "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Looking for Families in MOBILE,AL I'm an assistantfor ABCs Emmy award winning TV series "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." We are in the process of finding families who are deserving and in need of a new home for our next season of the show, and we want to move that bus to MOBILE, AL! We are looking for inspirational families that America can really root for. Because you are so plugged into the community, you might be able to help us reach those local heroes who need our help, or others in the community who can bring those families to our attention. It would be great if you could post a bulletin on your website, or include our information in your newsletter, and forward this information on to anyone you see fit. We're looking for inspirational members of the community who, for whatever reason, need a new home. While we know that there are so many families in need all over this country, we want to focus on people that have given back in some way despite their personal hardships. Some examples from past episodes include The Bliven family of Minot, ND who started a little league baseball program for children with special needs. And in Indiana, Shawna Farina heads up the local Relay For Life cancer walk for life in honor of her mother's struggle with the disease and, in an ironic twist of fate, now battles breast cancer herself. Some of our episodes have focused on people who have been inspirational within their own family. Amy Hawkins of Hendersonville, TN was left paralyzed after she threw her body over her 2 sons as a tornado ripped apart their home. As you can see, our definition of deserving can be fairly broad. Email extreme.makeover.assist@gmail.com and ask for our show flyer, which details what we are looking for and how people can submit their materials to us. Any assistance you can offer in getting the word out to volunteer, service, and community-building organizations would be deeply appreciated. All nominations should be sent to CastingAlabama@gmail.com. To be eligible, a family must own their own single family home or at least property on which a home can be built. Plus, they must be able to show producers how a makeover will make a huge difference in their lives. Nominations must include the names and ages of each member of the household along with a description of the major challenges within the home. Please also include contact information of the family. If possible, we would also love to see pictures of the family and their home. Anytime, at Your Computer!

Know the facts on breast cancer in the United States. • In 2008*, nearly 200,000 people in the United States were expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Approximately 40,000 people were expected to die from the disease. • Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women and the second leading cause of cancer death in women after lung cancer. • The five-year relative survival for breast cancer that has not spread to the lymph nodes or other locations has increased from 80 percent in the 1950s to 98 percent today. This is attributed to a combination of early detection, including mammography, and improvements in treatment. Thanks to Making Strides supporters, the American Cancer Society is saving lives. • We have helped people reduce their risk of breast cancer or find it early by educating and empowering them to get mammograms and clinical breast exams and to live healthy lives. • We have helped people facing breast cancer get well by providing resources to overcome obstacles in their personal cancer fight. • We have played a role in nearly every major cancer research breakthrough of the last century, leading to groundbreaking discoveries into breast cancer’s causes and cures. • We have successfully fought for laws that increase access to mammograms and treatment for all women. http://www.makingstridesmobile.org 7 a.m. Registration / 8 a.m. Walk, at Bienville Square in Downtown Mobile
