Urgent! Tell Congress About LBD Today!

{this takes TWO MINUTES - literally}

Urgent! Tell Congress About LBD Today!

If you are going to do just one thing this year to raise LBD awareness, tell

Congress about LBD and about your support for a very important act going to the

House floor for a vote as early as next week!

On Friday, the Parkinson's Action Network announced the following news:

On September 23, the full House Energy & Commerce Committee unanimously passed

by voice vote H.R. 1362, the National Neurological Diseases Surveillance System

Act. The legislation will establish a national data surveillance system that

will track and collect data on the epidemiology, incidence, prevalence, and

other factors of neurological diseases, including Parkinson's and multiple

sclerosis.

The surveillance system will be developed and maintained by the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This system will provide researchers and

epidemiologists with a coordinated system of health data on neurological

diseases and should fuel further research into neurological disorders like LBD.

(Visit the Parkinson's Action Network to learn more about the bill.)

Your Representative needs to hear from you today! Make sure your Member knows

that the Lewy body dementia community strongly supports this important

legislation. LBDA has developed a custom message about LBD and this act for your

use, and the Parkinson's Action Network's website does the rest!

Please voice your support by e-mailing your Representative in support of H.R.

1362.

And please forward this email to 10 people so they too can take action!

Sincerely,

The LBDA Team
