We are
affiliated with The Neuropathy Association and work closely with them to
broaden awareness about neuropathy - a disorder affecting over 20
million people in the US alone. Our belief is that the people dealing
with neuropathy know more about it from the "inside" and that we are
helped by helping others. |
