Psa Aims To Increase Valley Fever Awareness

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.
