Clients of the Herndon Virginia law firm ABRAMS LANDAU have sent clippings, posters and websites to the office where Triathlon Trial Lawyer Doug Landau has been photographed, quoted or spotted. It’s almost like a “Where’s Waldo ?” competition ! Recently, lawyer Landau received a copy of “Your Dry Home Quarterly, Issue 23 ” in which he was photographed at the start of the inaugural Loudon Lyme 5km.

Landau finished 10th overall and won the 50-59 age group category in 20:58 (6:46/mile average). He sent his shirt and shwag to clients afflicted with Lyme Disease after the race. The publication was from DryHome Roofing & Siding, the event’s hosting sponsor and the beneficiary of the event was the National Capital Lyme & Tick-Borne Disease Association. The National Capital Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Association is committed to helping patients diagnosed with tick-borne infections through education, support, and review of public policies concerning these diseases. NatCapLyme encourages individuals to advocate for themselves in their goal to regain their health. The organization offers regular patient support group meetings, information, speakers, and news updates on legislative and scientific developments.
