ASL France Newsletter, Sept 2019
ASL is the official foundation in France for the HSP community, funding research and providing information and education. ASL stands for Association Strümpell Lorrain, named after the doctors who first described the disease and still a common name for HSP in some parts of the world.
Here is their September 2019 newsletter for those who can read French or know a reliable online document translator. There are articles covering:
- cannabis therapy
- handicap sports
- accessibility topics
- news from regional groups and
- detailed statistics on the HSP community in France.
It is an epic read at 56 pages and well worth browsing even if you can’t speak French, with lots of photos and graphics in a superb, high-quality publication.
