ECAA Newsletters
The ECAA newsletter, Swallow Tales, is published quarterly in January, April, July, and October.
 Swallow Tales publishes articles of interest to patients, caregivers, partners, and families. We try to keep the content relevant, interesting, current, and as lighthearted as the subject matter will allow.
Support
One of the main benefits that we can offer is support.
 The members of the board cover a wide range of the world of EC experience - current patients, survivors, caregivers, and so on. Any of us are only too eager to be contacted and offer help and advice as we can
Anyone else who feels that they would be willing to help in this way can ask to be added to the list of ECAA supporters.
