HSP Newslink, the newsletter of the HSP support group in the UK, was published in September.
The saga of a man who undertook a staggering physical challenge to support his recently diagnosed grandson, and everyone with HSP, is a compelling story worth reading.
The Chairman’s Column presents a broad scope:
- a new mission statement for the group
- guidelines for the research grant process
- appointment of an ambassador to raise awareness
- cannabis based products for clinical trial – amongst other things.
Another section features members letters, then there are reports of regional branch meetings and upcoming get-togethers.
