Upcoming Events

August 1-2, 2009
Milwaukee, Wisconsin

National Conference on Histiocytic Disorders
Silent Auction Benefit

Plan now to join the Histiocytosis Association of America at the National Conference on Histiocytic Disorders in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Several international experts have already committed to participating in the 2009 conference. The conference will also provide many opportunities for families and patients to network and get to know each other.

If you attended the 2007 conference in Orlando you will agree that it was a great success. We brought together a unique group of physicians who presented the latest information about these diseases. The presentations by the non-medical speakers were extremely helpful to both parents and patients. Importantly, the social networking times enabled many to leave the Conference with new-found friends.

Continue checking the website, www.histio.org/2009NCHD, for updates on the conference. We will be providing more information as it becomes available as well as an opportunity to register online.

Let us know about your event by email: histio.canada@shaw.ca.

A cross-country bicycle ride, using primarily single-speed, fixed-gear bicycles, averaging 120 miles per day. The Big Fix is now soliciting riders for the entire trip, and shorter “legs” of the journey.
