Livents was cordially invited to attend the National Meningitis Association Gala 2011's GIVE KIDS A SHOT! - "A Benefit to Save Lives in the Fight Against Meningitis, a Vaccine-Preventable Disease." This signature fundraising event will help NMA continue and expand its vital work in the fight against meningitis. The honoree was former New York Giants Football great, Bart Oates and his wife Michelle for their 25 year commitment to Pediatric Neurological Research with the Children’s Advocacy Award.
Meningococcal disease is a rare but sometimes deadly disease,also known as bacterial meningitis,that strikes adolescents and young adults.The disease spreads quickly and within hours of the first symptoms can cause organ failure, brain damage, amputation of limbs or death.Parents and their children should learn more about meningococcal disease and prevention. Vaccination can prevent most cases of the disease.
Although is was hard to see some kids suffering of such disease, it was educational and brought awareness for Livents to share with the rest of our viewers. Hope this was educational for you and take care!
