Pituitary Awareness Week
21^st – 27^th September 2008

The Pituitary Foundation will be holding Pituitary Awareness Week the 21^st – 27^th September 2008.  We will be raising awareness on pituitary conditions on the whole, however, we will again be focussing on the alarming issue of lack of education for patients and medical professionals around the use of Hydrocortisone in urgent situations and during medical procedures and illness.

Recruiting case studies now!  Go to:  Media Callout to learn more.

We will be unveiling plans as they take shape.  Be certain to keep in touch on this page to see what you can do to raise awareness. 

Pituitary Awareness Week will be culminating in our 2^nd Annual Strawberry Line walk on the 27^th of September.

Please note:  The trail of the Strawberry Line goes through the town of Sandford.  We ask that our walkers respect those in Sandford and not join the Line there as this is a small town with limited facilities for locals and patrons of local businesses.  Please do not park your car there and only use the local facilities if you patronise the businesses.  Thank you!

Can't participate?  Help us by sponsoring our walkers, go to:  http://www.justgiving.com/strawberryline08 or send a cheque to The Pituitary Foundation, FAO: Strawberry Line, PO Box 1944, Bristol, BS99 2UB.

We are hoping to recruit as many walkers as we can to raise funds for the work of The Foundation as well as raise awareness.

The Strawberry Line is from Yatton to Cheddar (11 miles).  If you don’t feel you’re up to this kind of trek, there are plenty of places to join along the way, even a mile away from ‘the finish line’.  Download a registration form above to learn more about the Walk and where you can join it.

Or, another way to help is, we’ll need volunteers for the day, in different capacities.

If you would like to walk the Strawberry Line with us and raise funds and make a big awareness impact, or you’d like to help us by volunteering, please email: helpline@pituitary.org.uk to learn more.
