| CH Awareness Contest Winner | 09/28/2006 Jenny
H. has won with her idea to contact GlaxoSmithKline and get them
to include Cluster Headaches in their Imitrex ads. If successful, cluster headaches would be mentioned several times a day, every day, and be seen and/or heard by everyone in the US who watches television, listens to the radio and/or reads magazines. Congratulations to Jenny and our most sincere thanks to all who participated. Even if you did not win this contest, your idea still may be employed in the struggle to raise awareness of cluster headache. When we all work together, we all win! |
