Chase bank was giving donations to 200 charities. AHC foundation in the states was one of the 200. This is very good news for the foundation and all the AHC patients. Beside the fact that the money will come handy it also raises awareness of AHC and could lead to more funding hopefully.

We have now started to sell the 50kr necklace. I took some with me to a conference in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and sold them all. Everyone loves them. They are ideal as a gift or just for yourself;)

The second day, 22 November, Monday, dedicated to Best Practices for Developing and Maintaining Patient Registries in the European Union will be an open event to nEUroped partners, Patients Network members and outside participants.
The final day of the nEUroped Extended Network Meeting, 23 November, Tuesday will be to review the work accomplished in the nEUroped project and develop the future of the nEUroped Consortium: extend the Network to members outside the project and to patient networks.
