<div><font face="Tahoma" size="3"><br></font></div><div><font face="Tahoma" size="3">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: <u><font color="#2672ec"><a href="http://www.NADF.us" target="_blank">http://www.NADF.us</a></font></u>. </font><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12pt">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.</span></div>

Background</h1><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;max-width:100%;line-height:1.5">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.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;max-width:100%;line-height:1.5">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.</p>
