VDF Meets Mickey!

The 5th annual AARP National Event and Expo took place this year at the Anaheim Convention Center in California in October, across the street from Disney Land. Over 25,000 attendees came to this unique event, which provided information and entertainment for adults over 50. Over 400 exhibitors were on hand, sharing information and goodies with participants. VDF volunteers were also there, educating folks about vascular disease and introducing the "Stay in Circulation: Take Steps to Learn about P.A.D." campaign.

"This is such a great opportunity for VDF to provide education and information for the over-50 population about vascular disease and PAD in particular," said Sheryl Benjamin, VDF executive director. "The more we can educate people about these diseases, the better chance people have to improve the quality of their lives and be more informed when going to the doctor." Those attending could register to win one of two $50 gift certificates for Barnes and Noble Bookstore. The winners were Helen Arnold of Louisville, KY, and Donald Siefert of Spokane, MO. Congratulations!
