Of course, Toronto Mayor, John Tory, didn\u2019t know about vasculitis before meeting up with VFC President, Jon Stewart, but who does – other than patients and specialist doctors! \u00a0But the Mayor gets it now, and we hope his vasculitis awareness \u201c tweet”, with 278K Twitter followers will also get some vasculitis awareness too! \u00a0And, being the clever Mayor he is (most of the time), he gets full marks for making the Latin connection for the word vasculitis, meaning blood vessel inflammation, with the individual parts of the word vascul-itis, i.e. vascul-ar and its relation to blood vessels and -itis meaning inflammation!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Big or small, our efforts to spread awareness about vasculitis can make an impact\u00a0in ways you might not imagine. \u00a0Spread vasculitis awareness with the VFC brochure, Living with Vasculitis\u201d\u00a0which is available for download here:\u00a0https:\/\/vasculitis.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/VFC_Brochure_Fall_2015_Final_Web.pdf<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0printed copies are also available for patients, friends and family, doctor offices and even local politicians! \u00a0If we all spread the word and create more vasculitis awareness it adds up to a much bigger impact, which\u00a0can make a difference.<\/p>\n

\u00a0So this May, or anytime, spread the word and\u00a0spread vasculitis awareness!<\/p>\n
