Toledo, Ohio (August 15, 2005). The Women's Empowerment Queen, Best-selling Author, and Chiari Patient, Ponn M. Sabra, donates a portion of all book sales from her website and public appearances to the Conquer Chiari Campaign brining awareness to her extremely rare brain disorder.

The C & S Patient Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to improving the experiences and outcomes of Chiari and Syringomyelia patients through education, awareness and research. Their goal, quite simply, is to Conquer Chiari.

Chiari (also known as Arnold Chiari Malformation or ACM) is an extremely rare brain disorder in which part of the brain (specifically the cerebral tonsil) descends out of the skull into the spinal cord, in which 0.1% (one-tenth of a percent) of the general population is diagnosed with Chiari.

Deeply affected by Chiari, Ponn is fighting back by donating a portion of the proceeds from her books sales generated at her website (http://www.EmpowerWomenNow.com) and all public appearance.

Ponn shares that, �Defined by Merriam-Webster Dictionary, �empower� is �to promote self-actualization�. Very simply, I believe its being your best self; a person who is true, honest, and genuine to his/herself and sharing this person with the world. I received so many heart-wrenching, passionate, supportive and loving replies to my "Feeling Disempowered?" article http://empowerwomennow.blogspot.com/2005/08/feeling-disempowered.html that I find it extremely important to the support the very Foundation that has been supporting me and my family with education, research information and a venue for patient support.�
