David Gergen Stages Come Back
Dr. Roger Briggs, DDS and Dr. Allan Bernstein, DDS are teaming up with the Pro-Player Health Alliance (PPHA), the American Legion and Former NFL legends, to take part in a sleep apnea awareness event on January 10, 2013 at The Scottsdale Plaza Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. The event is part of the national “Tackle Sleep Apnea” campaign and will be the fifth stop, in a series of stops across the nation.
“These events are extremely successful,” David Gergen, President of the PPHA said. “We are incredibly grateful that we are able to spread awareness to so many people.” Typical events range in size of 120 to 300 people, so it is important to register early. As part of the event, former NFL legends Tony Dorsett, Roy Green, Derek Kennard, Dave Krieg, and Mark Walczak will share their experiences with sleep apnea and treatment. In addition, they will be signing autographs and photo opportunities will be available, for anyone in attendance. It is fantastic to see these NFL legends give back to the community to increase awareness of sleep apnea in the nation. In addition to the former NFL legends that will be in attendance, there will be a surprise guest. The guest is a current Arizona Cardinal superstar.
“I heard about the campaign and wanted to become involved in efforts to get the word out about what sleep apnea can do to you,” Walczak said. “I lost my best friend Junior Seau from the effects of this condition and I am trying to spread awareness, to save lives.”
