We Need Your Story! Call for Entries for 2012 Neuro Film Festival

(Source: American Academy of Neurology) - The American Academy of Neurology

Foundation is calling on all neurology patients and caregivers to submit a short

video to its 2012 Neuro Film Festival, telling their story about why more

research is needed into finding cures for brain disorders. Winners could receive

up to $1,000 and a trip to New Orleans. The deadline is January 31, 2012.

The Neuro Film Festival aims to raise awareness about the need to donate money

for research into the prevention, treatment and cure of brain disorders such as

Alzheimer's disease, stroke, autism, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis.

Last year, more than 100 films were submitted and more than 100,000 votes cast.

" With one in six people in the United States alone affected by a neurologic

disorder, chances are you know someone who is affected.... and we need your

story, " said Phelps, Deputy Executive Director of the American Academy

of Neurology Foundation. " Grab your camera and make a short video telling your

story about someone with a brain disorder. We need you to help us make the case

for why more research through the American Academy of Neurology Foundation is

needed to find cures. "
