June
Awareness Month (JAM)
Catch the wave,
help spread the word!
 
The
month of June is Mal de Debarquement Syndrome
(MdDS) Awareness Month. The MdDS Balance Disorder Foundation is
promoting awareness and fundraising events to bring information about
MdDS to the
forefront as we support research to learn the cause and produce a cure
for this rare disorder.
- June 28.
Rock Out for MdDS
in Singer Island, Florida.
The 1st
annual Rock
Out for MdDS Charity Event
will benefit the MdDS Foundation. Live music (cool jazz), silent
auction, gourmet hors d'oeuvres, and delicious wines will set the stage
for increased MdDS awareness. Learn
more here.
- June
8. Art Rocks!
Galleries in Jupiter, Florida team up to
provide an open house event on the second Wednesday of every month
with a portion of proceeds given back to the community. The
festivities in June with a raffle, refreshments and
entertainment benefitted the MdDS Foundation. Learn more and see photos here.
- Wine and Gourmet Foods.
For the entire month of June, Sandie Cebell will donate the profits
from orders placed through her Homemade
Gourmet Foods and Wine
Shop at Home websites.
Please visit often and place orders to help support the
activities of the MdDS Foundaton.

Hayley Wilkinson
recorded a catchy song, "Rock the Boat",
to promote June
as MdDS Awareness Month. The song and video bring a new and upbeat
musical perspective that encourages listeners to
learn more about MdDS.
