The IWMF now has an official presence on Facebook, which can be found at:

http://www.facebook.com/waldenstroms.support. 

The Facebook page serves as an additional mechanism where people can gain information about the IWMF and WM in general. More specifically, it is intended to be:

• a source of support for patients and caregivers
• an additional source of information for family, friends, and acquaintances of patients and caregivers (we want to spread the word about our rare disease and how special our patients, caregivers, researchers, and health professionals truly are!)
• an additional source of information about upcoming WM-related events
• a place for Facebook friends (members of the page) to "virtually" socialize with each other, share information, and provide comfort and support for each other

Please bear in mind that this website, the IWMF publications (and especially the Torch) and the IWMF-TALK discussion list will still be the primary mechanisms for information sharing with the WM community.
