Hi Joanna,
Good article & advise.
I have been on the Midday show & was on Today Tonight 4 times.
I have just contacted ‘The Collector on the ABC & hope to get help once again from ‘Today Tonight.
I would also like to get in touch with the DYU, i think it is on channel 9.
I haven’t prepared for that one yet.
I am used to publicity as I was a Magicians assistant in my twenties.
I am starting my Dercums Disease Awareness & Fundraising trip around Australia on my 63rd. birthday.
I hope to get on all the news channels.
I am writing to SBS to document my trip.
I have been in the news for various reasons, thus my Autobiography.
Right now though, I need to focus on getting my ‘DERCUMS DISEASE
WHAT IS IT?’ book done & published.
I am also selling my property & all of my stuff, which incl. many collectable items.
I have also applied to run a collectable raffle for fundraising my trip.
I have some unique items as prizes.
I am one very busy lady but get distracted too much from concentrating on getting this important book out there!
I will be selling it on my journey.
All proceeds will go towards my fundraising for research into this painful & debilitating disease.
Thank you for your encouragement.
I like your approach & your book.
Thans a bunch!
Love
Sigrid
