June 2009 was the first-ever National Scoliosis Awareness Month. I was surprised and pleased to recently learn I was part of the National Scoliosis Foundation’s “Making a Difference” slide show (http://tiny.cc/9MEcv) marking this historic observance.
Thanks to my friend, NSF president and CEO Joe O’Brien, and everyone at NSF for including me, and for all you are doing to raise awareness about scoliosis and its treatment.

Hi Maria,
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice picture of you.
Did you hear that the new Miss North Carolina has scoliosis? I saw a brief interview with her on one of the tv stations. She had surgery two years ago and talked about having to learn how to dance all over again. The interview was brief but I got the impression she hopes to use this as an opportunity to build public awareness.
