Help cure diabetes by telling your story

My firm, Creative Response, is engaged by a well known not-for-profit
organisation to
raise funds for diabetes research, as well as to support those with
diabetes.

We would like to hear from Australians (particularly those in NSW) who are
willing to have us write about some aspect of their personal story of
diabetes.



The objective of telling your story would be to help the charity raise funds
to defeat diabetes and / or to build awareness of diabetes (including among
those many who are not yet diagnosed).

All information would be treated confidentially. Nothing will be published
unless you specifically authorise anything we may write as a result of our
discussions with you.



Once you got in touch with us, if we have a place where your story can be
used, we'd interview you by phone to get more details.

For instance, your story might include any of:

how you were diagnosed,

your particular medical situation,

any complications,

the size of your family and the impact on them,

how you told your family when you found out,

charities that have helped you and what they did for you,

what you'd like to say to the public,

your treatment,

your feelings,

your hopes,

your fears etc.



We have an ongoing need for stories. Notwithstanding the date of this note,
we expect to be developing materials around people's stories for at least
the next 12 months. Whenever you see this message, please get in touch if
you'd like to work with us to tell your story.



Initially, just a short note about your story is fine.  However, if you want
to include any of the above information, please feel free to tell us more.
More information helps us work out how and where to best raise funds for
research etc with your story.


Even if you want to check if this is a scam (which it isn't) please get in
touch.  I'm very happy to tell you more about us and who we work for, or
show you other appeals we've written that incorporate stories people have
kindly allowed us to use.



By the way, I have a PhD, but not in medicine, so I'm hopeless at
understanding all those big latin words.



Rather than leave a note on this board, please send an e-mail direct to me
at stuart@creativeresponse.com.au  If you're willing to do so, please
include your phone number.

Many thanks and all the best.
