The AFA has a strong commitment to infertility prevention. Truth be told, we'd like to be so successful at teaching people about infertility prevention, there would no longer be a need for our organization to exist. (When that happens, you will find the entire staff on a distant beach drinking pina coladas. Ken promised. Sigh...)
But seriously. Conventional wisdom has it that now it is one in 6, not one in eight, couples who experience infertility in our country today. A lot of this truthfully can't be avoided. But so much of the heartbreak of infertility could be eliminated, it really could. Women and men at all age levels, from teenagers on, need to hear the real truth about their biological clocks, diet and exercise modification to enhance fertility potential, environmental toxin prevention and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention. We've worked hard to get those messages out there over the last two years but there is still so much more to do.
We've got to get into the trenches and reach more young women than ever before. The good news is, the trenches tend to be wonderful, fun places. By the way. Do you happen to live in San Diego?
Good news if you do! Or if you have a ton of frequent flyer miles and no where to go. The AFA has teamed up with savvy, out of the box thinking Fertility SOURCE Companies. The cool girls of FSC will be joining the cool girls (and boys) of The AFA at the Head to Toe Womens Expo in Del Mar. This three day event is an extravaganza of all things Woman. From their press release:
"Grab the girls! Affectionately coined the Ultimate Day Out for Women, the Head to Toe Womens Expo returns to the Del Mar Fairgrounds on April 16, 17 and 18 - (877-491-0677 for more info). The Expo gives mothers, daughters, and girlfriends alike a chance to reconnect during a weekend of shopping, pampering, makeovers, inspirational speakers and more".
This year, learning about infertility prevention and family building including third party reproduction will be the more.
Booth 419 is where it's at. Grab your BFF and go!
