Re: Faces of Pancreatitis

[Guest guest]

Donna,

I like your idea about getting the faces of people with Pancreatitis out with

the disease. That is part of why the slogan is Many People, manu Faces, One

Voice. What we have so far is a collection of members photos in the Yahoo photo

gallery. We can also have them put next to their stories

(http://www.pancassociation.org/stories). It does make a difference to see

someone's face. That is

why they always put a picture of kids on buckets when they are doing fund

raisers. If you want your picture added, let me know,

Wouldn't it be nice if we could get the news stations to put the picture of

someone with Pancreatitis on the news every night in a series on Chronic

Illness in America. Sometimes I think people would respond to Chronic Illness

more

than they would to Pancreatitis.

Maybe we could persuade the newspaper to run an article on the faces of

Pancreatitis.

How many of you would be willing to have your picture published along with

your story in the book on Pancreatitis. The book is essentially done. All I am

doing is waiting on the nonprofit status so I can get a grant to publish it.

Karyn,

go ahead and use my picture. It's on the Yahoo site in the

photo album. It's not great, but I haven't got a better one

at this time.
