Essential Tremor (ET) affects 7 million Americans. If you, a family member, or a friend have ET, you are invited to attend a free symposium sponsored by HopeNET, an all-volunteer, non-profit.
This symposium, with the ET support groups in Pennsylvania, Virginia & Maryland, will be held on September 19 from 10am until 12:30pm at Holy Cross Hospital, 1500 Forest Glen Rd., Silver Spring, Md. 20910. The theme of the symposium is Essential Tremor research and how those with it can participate in the trials. The three guest speakers will make a presentation on their respective research as well as answer any questions. There will also be an update on the results of the “Essential Knowledge gaps in the field of ET” Conference that was held at NIH on May 11-12 – as well as what has transpired since.
Information about HopeNET may be found at www.theHopeNET.org. You will need to register by either calling Peter Muller at 703-543-8131 or one of the contact people in each group – Walter Ebmeyer, Doris Mapes, Lisa Gannon, Mary Thomas, Barbara McCarthy or Prudy Bradley. As HopeNET is now doing more, please make a donation by going to our webpage or by mailing a check to 14425 Coachway, Centreville, Va. 20120.
