Alice Roberts is an advocate for the National Osteoporosis Foundation and a support group leader. She holds monthly osteoporosis meetings in her community that are open to the public and free of charge.
At age 35, doctors at the Mayo Clinic diagnosed Alice with severe osteoporosis. In 2004, just after turning 49, she had a bone mineral density (BMD) test - her worst to date. Alice’s lowest score was - 4.5. That was a score expected from someone in their 90's, not a woman who had just turned 49 a week earlier.
Due to her age and the severity of her osteoporosis, Alice decided to speak out, draw awareness to the disease and its causes, and encourage people to see their family doctor and get a bone density test.
In her efforts to support the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) in its mission, she has created a Fight Osteoporosis™ magnet (8" high by 3 ˝" wide) and is donating $2.00 to NOF when anyone puts "-NOF" after their last name during the purchase process.
To purchase your magnet visit www.alicevroberts.com/Store.html, be sure to type "-NOF" after your last name when entering your personal information - that is the only way NOF will receive $2.00 from your purchase.
