ABC World News Tonight just finished airing a three-day series drawing attention to the burden of Migraine disease and the improvement of care for sufferers. When Magnum started Migraine disease awareness public health education efforts 14 years ago, such news coverage could only be imagined. Persistent Migraine disease awareness events held by MAGNUM, ACHE, WHA, and other NGOs over the years have helped to raise the profile of this debilitating disease.

Magnum, accordingly, held a three month long Migraine disease awareness art exhibition in the historic district of Alexandria, Virginia. The closing of the exhibit will be held on St. Patrick's Day weekend and marked with a special appearance and book signing by the author of one of the nation's best Migraine books on Migraine.

Over the years, Magnum's Migraine awareness art exhibits have been displayed in varying venues from the U.S. Congressional Rotunda on Capitol Hill, to Rome, Italy, to the Italian Embassy's Italian Cultural Institute in Washington, DC. The current Tenth Annual Migraine Disease Awareness Exhibition is displayed at Books-A-Million at 510 King Street in Alexandria, Virginia. The exhibit closing and book signing will be held on Saturday March 18, 2006 at 2:00pm.

All proceeds from sales of the artwork exhibited by nationally known photographer Michael John Coleman will be donated to the non-profit NGO Magnum, The National Migraine Association. Magnum Founder Mr. Coleman, a Migraineur since age six, relates to his disease through his art in subtle ways, including dramatic skies common during weather fronts, a well known Migraine trigger, offering a unique way to look at Migraine disease and how people are affected by it.

During the exhibit closing, author and health advocate Teri Robert Ph.D. will be available to sign her new highly popular HarperCollins book "Living Well with Migraine Disease and Headaches: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You... That You Need to Know". Enjoy meeting Ms. Robert and have her sign a copy of her fast selling book. Ms. Robert is also MAGNUM's Support Advisor and board member as well as a well known health guide for About.com.

Come down to historic Old Town Alexandria on Saint Patrick's Day weekend and enjoy the St. Patty's Day festivities, beautiful artwork by fine art photographer Michael John Coleman, and meet Magnum Co-Founder Terri Miller Burchfield and health writer & advocate Teri Robert, all in one afternoon.
