Volunteer needed

June 23, 2004

LDNers:

Within the last few months, we have made substantial progress

in our goals. Two trials, one in Italy and one at UT SW are being

seriously discussed. Sam W has done a great job of the compilation of

the LDN data.

However, we need to open a new front in our fight for LDN trials and

acceptance by mainstream neuros. This involves visibility in the

media (tv/print/radio). Unfortunately, I have a demanding full time

job and I can only spare so many hours, similarly, now that Sam W is

recovering fast, she is anxious to get back to work. So we (I and

Sam) are looking for a third person who would be willing to

volunteer. At present I focus more on contacting the physicians and

researchers, while Sam does more of the public advocacy as well as

maintainance of her web site and the design and compilation of the

survey. I would be willing to help the volunteer, in terms of

planning strategy as well as general guidance and advice when dealing

with the media.

So if you know of someone or are yourself interested with the below

listed skill set, pl. contact me.

- Be motivated and have good inter personal skills

- Must have computer access and some ability to feret out info from

the web

- Moderate Ability to write

- Should not be financially strapped for cash!. The work would likely

involve making some copies, or phone calls, and if someone is lucky,

even occasional travel.

- A few hours a day is all that is required

- The person would essentially do some web or library based research

to identify contacts. Once the contacts are identified we can all

write to them.

- An interest in journalism would be great.

So pl. let me know, if someone is interested. Also consider being a

member of LDNers, if you like to help the cause.

Thanks,

Aegis
