Cindy McCain, wife of U.S. Senator John McCain, today announced she would work to raise awareness of migraine among the public and health professionals and pledged to take her message to leaders in Washington to increase funding for research into migraines, a condition that affects some 36 million Americans…I`d like to express special thanks to Dr. David Dodick of the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Dodick, President-Elect of the American Headache Society, is a stellar researcher, a superb clinician, and is a wonderful spokesman for the cause that brings us together today.
