Memorial to Abi, Migrainous Stroke Victim
Abi Smith was a member of our "headache family." On November 12, 2001, at the age of 21, Abi lost her life to a migrainous stroke. Her last request of me was to educate people about Migraine to try to prevent this happening to others. Since education is a primary focus of MAGNUM, the National Migraine Association, I have made arrangements for donations to honor Abi. ACHE The American Council for Headache Education Best of the Net
