Cross your fingers and wish me luck...

Post  TeriRobert on Fri May 14, 2010 11:27 pm

Tomorrow, I head to DC for a two day special workshop for the NIH. The purpose of it is to look at current Migraine research funding, the true needs, and how funding can be increased. They invited a couple of dozen researchers, representatives from the National Headache Foundation and the Migraine Research Foundation (since both organizations do some research funding), and me.

Right now, I'm a bit freaked out at representing 37 million American Migraineurs, but I'm sure I'll be fine once I get there and the meeting starts.

When I get back, I'll be writing an article or blog and sharing whatever information I can.

Have a good weekend and week, everyone. If I get a chance, I'll pop in here.

Teri

Wish you loads of luck Teri. Sure you will do just fine, but understand must be a bit daunting.
We need you over here in the UK too I fear.
But at least we can share in the feedback.

Good luck,

Teri, I am right down the road in Northern VA. Sending you good thoughts. You do not need to be nervous, you have what others there do not: experience! Did you enjoy our beautiful weather yesterday? Sorry its not so nice today. Cant wait to hear about the findings.

Cindy
