Dallas-Fort Worth Family WUN Town Hall Recap
The recent event took place in Frisco, Texas, on September 7th as a collaboration between Wake Up Narcolepsy (WUN) and FACES of Narcolepsy!
Around 50 people of all ages attended the WUN Town Hall and there was truly something for everyone. Once arriving, attendees had the opportunities to meet others, enjoy refreshments and complete a Narcolepsy bingo card. Those who completed it received a prize donated by Children’s Health Child Life!
There was also a chance to work on a collaborative painting with local artist, Joanna Posey. Many felt it was therapeutic to fill the canvas with fears or dreams written on rice paper, knowing that Joanna was going to paint the rest of the blank space.
Later in the event, Anna Wani, MD, and her panel of fellows gave a basic overview of Narcolepsy before shifting the focus to the audience’s questions. It was a wonderful opportunity for anyone looking to learn more and those coming with specific questions.
Event sponsors included Jazz Pharmaceuticals and Takeda Pharmaceuticals.
