FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


CARTOONIST SPEARHEADS EFFORTS FOR A NATIONAL MENOPAUSE MONTH!

Dee Adams, creator of the cartoon character Minnie Pauz ™, recently announced her efforts to establish a National Menopause Month to bring menopause out of the closet and into the forefront of today's medical news.

There are currently around 40 million American women going through menopause.

Surprisingly, there is no coordinated event to put the spotlight on this major health issue.

That will soon change if Adams has her way.

The Michigan woman is the creator of Minnie Pauz ™, a single panel cartoon offering a humorous look at menopause and aging in general. The cartoon has gained worldwide attention through the internet, on TV, and from personal appearances at major medical conferences. The website, http://www.minniepauz.com, has been mentioned in USA Today, reviewed in the London Sunday Times, and the topic of several articles in local newspapers and large internet sites.

Minnie Pauz has also been named EDITOR'S CHOICE on most of the primary search engine directories, including Netscape, Yahoo, AOL Search, Hot Bot, Lycos and Dogpile - where the site is featured as the selected choice in the Health/Women's Health/Menopause category.

By establishing a National Menopause Month, Adams hopes to help women understand and accept the aging process, to improve the relationship and communication between women and the medical community and to encourage these women to help educate the next generation as to what they will face. Additionally, by bringing attention to this female issue, Adams hopes to increase understanding of related medical issues facing women of all ages.


Adams has named the month of June, 2001 for the first National Menopause Month to occur.

She has been organizing support for this campaign from healthcare professionals and major organizations. She is now lobbying politicians - as well as Tipper Gore - to lend their endorsement to the idea, and is encouraging legions of fans of her website - www.minniepauz.com - to do the same.
