TV coverage of CFS

Mall of America exhibit garners first news report

In conjunction with the national CFS public awareness campaign, the CFIDS Association has arranged for the new traveling CFS photo exhibit, "The Faces of CFS,"  to make its public debut at the Mall of America in Minneapolis from August 6-15.

On Sunday, August 6, CBS affiliate WCCO-TV did a story on CFS and the photo exhibit. Reporter Sue Turner interviewed a local Minnesota CFS patient, Joanne Brayden, and CFIDS Association stafferTiffany Stovall for the story. You can view the story and the TV report at http://wcco.com/topstories/local_story_218211856.html.

Thank the reporter and the station for bringing CFS information to viewers in the Minneapolis and St. Paul region. Simply follow the steps to "Take Action" using the form letter to easily send an e-mail to Sue Turner.

More CFS coverage is in the works while the exhibit reaches the one million shoppers who will visit Mall of America during its 10-day stay. We'll keep you posted!
