A little more time for Alpha-1 survey

A letter recently mailed to thousands of Alphas and Alpha-1 carriers across the United States asked them to fill out a survey on their opinions and experiences about:

The Alpha-1 community programs now available
What you think the community needs most right now
Whether you're having problems with access to medical care
Where we need to advocate on behalf of Alphas as the healthcare reform changes continue.
And anything else you want to comment on.

The survey deadline was supposed to be today, Jan. 21. Unfortunately, the U.S. Post Office took an average of 12 days to deliver the letters (sent First Class).

For that reason...

The deadline has been extended to Thursday, Feb. 3.

The survey is a collaboration between the Alpha-1 Foundation and the Alpha-1 Association.

What's Alpha-1? And who cares?
Nobody cares. No reason you should. Unless... * You get short of breath easily. * You have asthma. * You get a lot of colds, and they always seem to be worse than other people's and stay around longer. * You have COPD (emphysema, chronic bronchitis, whatever your doctor calls it). * You have liver disease and you were never a heavy drinker. * Somebody you love has these symptoms. In that case, you need more information. It can make a huge difference in your health. It might even save your life. You can check the links in these posts for lots more information. You can also email me; see the link above.
