Second Annual Migraine Disease Awareness Small Works Exhibition opened
earlier this winter at Old Town's Principle Gallery to a diverse, enthusiastic
audience. Migraine Awareness Group: a National Understanding for Migraineurs
(M.A.G.N.U.M.) orchestrated the event to bring this invisible handicap
to public attention. The awareness show and MAGNUM's disease awareness
activities, made possible in part by a grant from GlaxoWellcome, has
the support of U.S. Senators Charles Robb and Charles Grassley, U.S.
Congressmen James P. Moran and Bill Paxon, the Congressional Caucus
on Woman's Issues, Alexandria Mayor Kerry J. Donley and others. Senator
Robb stated "It is pleasing to see the progress that MAGNUM has made
in advancing the knowledge and understanding of Migraine disease. Over
18 million individuals, mostly women, suffer from serious migraine disease
and I commend MAGNUM's commitment to improving those individual's lives
across Virginia and the nation."
