Miles for Migraines

If you are in the San Francisco area and like to run - especially for a good cause, think about running on December 7th for Miles for Migraines. I have a friend who is getting her post-doctorate degree in migraine studies.

Here's some of the information she sent me today:

I have been working hard to start a new non-profit organization to raise awareness and funds for migraine research because it is the most common neurological disorder for women under 50 and can be completely debilitating. Migraine affects more than the number of people who are effected by asthma and diabetes combined and yet it gets less than a tenth of the money for research than either of those disorders. When migraine researchers pleaded their point with NIH-- NIH responded by saying that the public didn't care about migraine. This is a grass roots effort to show that we do care about it and want to do something about gaining more funding for migraine research.
