NMVasculitis is on Facebook!

If you have a Facebook account, and are affiliated with the Vasculitis Foundation, or are active in the New Mexico chapter of the VF, then request to join our group!

The group is classified as "closed" because I do not want unaffiliated strangers joining and wrecking the vibe I hope will develop there.

Please send condolences to the Travolta Family

You may or may not know that Jett Travolta suffered from a form of vasculitis known as Kawasaki's Disease, and passed on Monday as an indirect result of his condition. He was only sixteen years old.

We do not always know when someone passes from this world due to vasculitis, but in this case the world knows. So, please lend them your moral and emotional support to the Travolta family in this most difficult time, just as you would for anyone else in the vasculitis community.

If you are at all inclined, you may send your words of condolence or just well wishes through John Travolta's website: http://www.travolta.com/

You can find links to learn more about Kawasaki's Disease on the Education page of the NMVasculitis.org website.
