We want to see the Faces of FAME (Fibromyalgia Awareness Mean Everything)!

We’re looking for a few good patients… and healthcare providers… and researchers… and supporters.

Do you know a researcher who has helped to advance the understanding of fibromyalgia? Does your support group leader go beyond the call of duty? Does your healthcare provider fight on your behalf for denied treatment?

This is your chance to recognize those people who really get it—the people who support those with FM, who help increase awareness of FM in the media and the general community, and who are driven to learn more about FM.

Send your nomination of a person you believe represents one of the “faces of FAME” to edeffner@fmaware.org, or mail it to

Faces of FAME
ATTN: Elisabeth Deffner
National Fibromyalgia Association
2121 S. Towne Centre Place, Suite 300
Anaheim, CA  92806

Include in your nomination:
Your name, address, and telephone number
The name, address, and telephone number of the person you’re nominating
The reason why you are nominating this person (in 150 words or less)

Nominations can include family, friends, healthcare professionals, legislators—anyone who has helped the fibromyalgia community.

Nominations must be received by September 29, 2008.

An NFA panel will review the nominations and identify the winners, who will be profiled in an upcoming issue of Fibromyalgia AWARE. We look forward to learning more about the dedicated individuals who support the FM community across the country and around the world!
