FACES 2004 Encephalitis Conference
Third Annual Encephalitis Conference, presented by FACES (Friend and Caregivers, Encephalitis Survivors).
(PRWEB) February 29, 2004--While most of North America still hibernates in
winter's touch, a determined group of people are busy planning their third
annual Encephalitis Conference. They work together, to share information and
support, and raise awareness on this rare disease.
There are many causes
of encephalitis, including the West Nile virus. Encephalitis is an inflammation
of the brain, usually triggered by a viral infection. Those who survive the
illness may suffer permanent physical and mental disabilities, such as paralysis
and memory loss.
Last year's FACES Encephalitis Conference was held in
Las Vegas Nevada. As well as adults, it welcomed a number of children touched by
different types of encephalitis, and a guest speaker who is a survivor of West
Nile encephalitis.
This year, FACES will be held in Enfield, Connecticut
August 6-8th, 2004. For more information, visit Encephalitis Global at http://www.encephalitisglobal.com and click on FACES
