Spasticity and Paralysis


Letter-writing Campaign to Raise Awareness of Movement Disorders


National Stroke Association is participating in the Life in Motion Congressional letter-writing campaign designed to raise awareness of movement disorders such as spasticity.


How can you participate? Here’s how the campaign works…..


Visit the Life in Motion web site - http://www.life-in-motion.org/ - to read a letter that will be sent to your local U.S. Congressional representatives with your name and city/state of residence.  The letter highlights the need to raise awareness of movement disorders and urges their official support at the first-ever Movement Disorders Patient Summit in Washington, DC on September 14th and 15th. 


Please be sure to check off National Stroke Association when asked what organization you are supporting.  National Stroke Association will be awarded funds from the Life in Motion campaign based on the number of individual letters our organization generates. 


This is an easy way to raise awareness of movement disorders and help National Stroke Association at the same time.  While we appreciate your support and that of your friends and family, we request that you limit this support to one letter per person. Please take a few minutes now to help raise awareness of movement disorders by visiting http://www.life-in-motion.org/!!
