Greetings unto my Kingdom,

At War of the Wings this October we are asking for each and every gentle to
consider dropping a coin for those less fortunate - if you go to watch or
participate in the fighting, in the archery, or in the arts & sciences YOU
can make a difference in someone's life with the spare change from your car
console.

The National Adrenal Disease Foundation is the charity Sir Bryce requested
we support this year. Below you will find information about this
organization and its mission, taken from their website: *http://www.NADF.us
<http://www.NADF.us>*.  He has mentioned his loss of one near and dear to
him on several occasions.  We could help others not have to suffer these
losses simply by swinging in at one of the Support Your ---- Stations and
dropping in the coins rattling around in the bottom of your pouch from that
new mug/stick of rattan/set of earrings/pair of shoes you just picked up at
Merchants' Row.


About NADF
Background

The National Addison’s Disease Foundation was formed in 1985 by a young
couple as a result of their experiences with Addison’s disease. At that
time, there was no organization established which would provide guidance
and information about what life was like living with adrenal insufficiency.
There was no way to contact others who shared this illness. Although
Addison’s disease is considered a rare disease, it is estimated that at
least 10,000 individuals in the United States have this condition (this is
probably an underestimation). Incorporated in New York State in 1985, the
name was later changed to National Adrenal Diseases Foundation to include
individuals suffering from related diseases, such as Cushing’s Syndrome and
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. Support groups began forming in New Jersey,
New York, Connecticut, Illinois and now include groups in Arizona,
California, Idaho, Iowa, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky,
Maine, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, Washington State
and Wisconsin.

As a result of the dedication of the board of directors, officers and
members of NADF, Addisonians now have a resource for their physical and
mental health questions. The newly diagnosed can look to NADF for
information from one of its “Facts You Need To Know” pamphlets. Anyone
wishing to correspond with a fellow Addisonian or find understanding
through participation in a support group need look no further than NADF.
Even endocrinologists can stay informed through the efforts of the
foundation.
Our Mission

The National Adrenal Diseases Foundation informs, educates, and supports
those with adrenal disease and their families to improve their quality of
life.

   1. To stop death from undiagnosed Addison’s disease.
   2. To improve life quality of those who suffer from adrenal disease.
   3. To promote the study of adrenal disease to improve treatment and find
   cures





























Further information can be found at their website.  Please consider
stopping off and dropping off when you are out and about at the war!  Your
nickels, dimes, and quarters could save a life.

Thank you, in advance, for your generosity.

*Sajah of the Many Names*
*Minion of Her Highness Seonaid ni Fhionn, MOL, and unofficial Atlantian
Minister of Hugs*
