Dear Mary,



It was very nice to talk to you on the phone today. Thank you for
offering to distribute information about the study we are conducting,
which is testing an experimental treatment for individuals who are blind
and suffer from a sleep disorder known as Non-24 Hour Sleep Wake
Disorder, to the Georgia Division of the National Association of Blind
Students. I have copied and pasted the study announcement to the end of
this email.



Below is some additional information about the trial:

*	We have a site in Atlanta GA that is conducting this study.
*	The site will arrange and cover the cost for all transportation
to and from the site for participants and guardians. Any other requests
for travel arrangements (ie. guide dogs, hotel) will be accommodated.
*	There is compensation for participation in the trial.
*	Please note that it is possible that some people may report
having some light perception, but also have sleep issues (e.g.  trouble
falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, daytime sleepiness, etc.); we
would encourage these people to call the 1800 number on the
announcement, as it is still possible that they could qualify for the
trial.





 We really appreciate you helping us spread the word about this clinical
trial.  If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to
contact me by phone at 240-599-4535 or by email at
brooke.davis at vandapharma.com <mailto:brooke.davis at vandapharma.com> .
Thanks for all your help.
