If there is enough interests we can form a dedicated AMD Patient Support Group to cater for the AMD patients ... perhaps around 20 patients as a pilot project. Experience the dynamics of small, intimate groups in solving specific needs such as AMD. A good time to start the AMD Support Group as what can be a more appropriate time then to start one during this AMD Awareness Week. <inserted 15 Sep 2008>
