Dysautonomia News - Fall / Winter 2007

What one person can do!

Stephanie & BonnieStephanie Thompson is a DINET member who is determined to make a difference! First, she conducted a candle sale at her place of business and raised money for DINET’s upcoming documentary. Then she arranged to set up a dysautonomia awareness booth in front of her local Publix grocery store. Her mom made a banner with the word “Dysautonomia” and DINET’s web site address written on it. Stephanie and her mom gave little toys to children while handing their parents brochures about dysautonomia. Stephanie says “This is something all my fellow Floridian POTS friends could do at their local Publix if they wanted. Publix is very good about supporting its community and often allows charities to utilize their store fronts.”

DINET is proud to feature Stephanie Thompson in this newsletter edition. Stephanie is doing all she can to raise dysautonomia awareness. Thank you, Stephanie!
