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. Dr Stuart McGill Director Creative Response Pty Ltd 62 Darling St, Balmain, NSW 2041 Phone 02 9810 1666 Fax 02 9810 1777 stuart@creativeresponse.com.au

"Defeat"? Masses of funds have been raised over many decades to fund research into DM, from which all of us have benefitted. But if you mean "cure", then we're still a long way away from that. > All information would be treated confidentially.

It doesn't look like a scam to me, but I'd feel a lot happier about this if you could post these details on the newsgroups. Surely your company has a website? > 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. Again, if you post on newsgroups, it's expected that you deal with followups there, too. > Many thanks and all the best. And to you, Sir! > Dr Stuart McGill -- Alan Mackenzie (Munich, Germany) Email: aacm@muuc.dee; to decode, wherever there is a repeated letter (like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").
