Lodi, California Proclamation
September 2006 TAAD Awareness Month
On September 6th the City of Lodi issued a TAAD Awareness Proclamation.
The Bicuspid Aortic Foundation is very grateful to Mayor Susan Hitchcock and
the Lodi City Council for their assistance in increasing public awareness of TAAD
through this proclamation. Carrie Mettler, a Lodi resident and Bicuspid Aortic Foundation Board member, has a thoracic aortic
aneurysm resulting from bicuspid aortic valve disease. Carrie previously has
had brain surgery for a cerebral aneurysm. Through Carrie's efforts to bring
greater awareness of BAVD and TAAD, the lives of our families, our friends, and
our neighbors may be saved.
