Official Mold Awareness Week Press Release

[Guest guest]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mold Awareness Week September 19 – 24, 2004

MOLD VICTIMS ASCEND ON THE NATIONS CAPITOL

Washington DC – Mold victim advocacy groups from across the nation will

ascend on Capitol Hill this week to deliver their message to Congress and to

bring national attention to the growing epidemic of serious residual health

effects of indoor molds in schools, homes, workplaces and public buildings.

The groups will be distributing packets to members of Congress that contain

a sampling of current peer reviewed medical research, personal accounts of

victims impacted by mold and signed petitions calling for Congressional

Hearings to address the resulting adverse health affects of poor indoor

environments. Advocates say their message is calling for federal regulations

and help

from the nations’ medical schools and medical organizations to heighten

physicians awareness that mold related symptoms are all too often misdiagnosed

and

illnesses from poor indoor environments are becoming of critical proportion.

In addition to the week’s activities in Washington, DC, mold victims, who

have been directed by the more than 25 different groups, will be personally

calling on their state and local elected officials across the county.

The highlight of the week’s events will be a press conference by Congressman

Conyers, Jr., author of H.R. 1268 titled: The United States Toxic Mold

Safety and Protection Act at 10:30 am, September 22, in the Rayburn Building,

Rm 2237, on Capitol Hilll.

Joining the Congressman will be Bianca Jagger and national experts to

discuss the global impact of mold and mycotoxins. The Mold Awareness Coalition

will be participating in the press conference and will follow with an

additional

statement to the press during a congressional luncheon presented by the

MAPER Coalition, an affiliate mold education and research organization.

Mold Relief, Inc. will be displaying an angel tree for Members of Congress

and all in attendance to have the opportunity to sponsor a child for

Christmas, who has lost everything to mold. In exchange, the contributor will

receive

a beautiful crystal ornament.
