More than 50 valley fever survivors and their friends and family members gathered Saturday at Jastro Park, just west of downtown Bakersfield, to reconnect and record a television commercial promoting the fourth annual Valley Fever Awareness Walk Aug. 8. Many wore blue T-shirts bearing the slogan "I am a Survivor," and gray baseball caps that read "Ask me about Coccidioidomycosis." Some designed posters with valley fever themes and videotaped their own stories of loss and triumph.
