You can get involved right away. Do not wait, do not pass go, you sure are not going to get $200. Still, I encourage you all to consider the things you can do right now to spread the awareness of vasculitis. By doing something large or small, your action will increase the likelihood that research will be funded, and this family of diseases will see improved treatments and maybe one day, a cure!

Mark your calendars for Vasculitis Awareness Week, which will be held September 21-27. Start planning your advocacy and fundraising efforts now!
Vasculitis Awareness Week is the VF’s single largest annual effort at raising awareness. And we need your help to make it successful. Write a letter to your congress person; plan a walk; ask your city government to publicly acknowledge Vasculitis Awareness Week; send an email to your friends and family and ask them to contribute to your efforts; take brochures to your local doctors and ask them to display them in their offices. There are many different activities that you can plan that will help raise awareness and much-needed funds. http://www.vasculitisfoundation.org/awarenessweekbooklet2008
