Neuropathy and Neuropathy Association on
NBC Today Show, May 13th

On behalf of our entire neuropathy community, we are pleased to share with you that The Neuropathy Association will make its first national television appearance on NBC’s Today Show on Tuesday, May 13th, at approximately 8:30 a.m. Eastern time.

Speaking on behalf of our members and everyone living with neuropathy, executive director Tina Tockarshewsky will be speaking with Al Roker to highlight National Neuropathy Week and build awareness about the scope and symptoms of this pervasive disease.

The interview is scheduled to coincide with the start of National Neuropathy Week, May 12-16. This week gives the neuropathy community an annual opportunity to emphasize how critical it is that all of us—the general public, healthcare providers, and policymakers alike—recognize the toll this disease is taking on Americans’ health and quality of life.

We are honored that the Today Show is giving prominence to this too long unrecognized disease, and highlighting our efforts to build awareness and work towards a cure.

Please join us for the interview, and please visit http://www.neuropathy.org/ all week long to participate in daily interactive activities to observe this important week.

Thought I would post this for everyone, might be some good info, and obviously good exposure for all of us.
