The Santa Clarita Senior Center holds fair in an effort to raise fibromyalgia awareness.
May 12th has been officially designated International Awareness Day for Chronic Immunological and Neurological Diseases (CIND) by Tom Hennessy, the founder of RESCIND, Inc. (Repeal Existing Stereotypes about Chronic Immunological and Neurological Diseases).
The reason Hennessy chose the 12th is because he wished to memorialize the birth date of Florence Nightingale, the English army nurse who inspired the founding of the International Red Cross.
