Over 600 candles illuminated the Southern California evening, in honor of the 10 million people living with fibromyalgia. Over 100 of the candles were sponsored to pay tribute to a loved one, who lives with fibromyalgia every day.
The day concluded with an amazing concert by R&B singer, Tony Terry, whose wife has fibromyalgia. Tony was recently named the NFA's national spokesperson. Tony's final song of the evening was "Remember the Love", written in honor of FM Awareness Day last year by Pasquale Talarico.
