TEAM CANADA -A BIG SUCCESS
2007 Walk for Behcet's in Michigan.
Team Canada was a great success at the Michigan walk for Behcet's raising over $834.00 for the cause. We would like to thank all who participated and donated to make this such a worthwhile event. Even with the Breast Cancer diagnosis our president Cindy walked the one mile event. The turn out was good for such a chilly day. We hope to be able to attend the next walk.
Meeting & Conference-October 2008

What a great turn out we had for our first joint meeting/conference with the Vasculitis Foundation Canada on October 18, 2008. This event was held from 11 am to 3:30 pm at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. We had Dr. Pope, a Rheumatologist as guest speaker. She did an amazing job in educating us on various forms of vasculitis and new medical approaches on the horizon. A hot lunch was served and people got to mingle and discuss what they were going through..

It was a very enjoyable day!
