Mike Zaloudek - A Question

[Guest guest]

Mike -

I will be attending a conference next week and would like to build my

courage to ask folks for donations to the Virtual Walk. I'm not

totally sure it's appropriate, but then I think maybe it would be an

opportunity that I should just " go for it " .

Conference is the Annual Academy of Hospice and Palliative Care -

palliative care is not just about cancer. Palliative Care is focusing

medical care on pain and symptom management of any chronic disease.

Well by gum, PSC is a chronic illness with major symptom management

issues!!! Thus it seems like a place to increase awareness, just as

I'm sitting waiting for a talk or something.

Mike - What do you think? What suggestions do you have? I know last

year you asked many " strangers " to donate to the Virtual Walk - can

you give me some guidance?

Thanks for your time and thoughts.
