Media coverage
Media coverage
Well folks, it happened, we have media coverage. All I did was call our local television station (RCN) and talked to them about Brachial Plexus Injuries and how we are struggling to spread the word via media. Yesterday I dropped of a packet of information from the web site in order to better prepare the interviewer for the taping. The taping will be on November 13th. The show will air sometime in December. My lawyer will be present. I felt having him there would give our issue credibility. I will also be putting a plug in for UBPN directing people to this site. Wish me luck. This is just the first step. Next year, we go bigger!!!! I will be making copies of the interview, it is a half hour show called "Community Spotlight".

That is absolutely WONDERFUL. How hard was it for you to convince them to do this? I agree about having your lawyer present. There are SO many people that have no clue about BPI's. Since I have learned there are so many of us, we all need to spread the world. I know I am doing my little part. I have educated all my co-workers, all the therapist & anyone else that will listen. It gave me a great opportunity to talk about it right after I had surgery & was still having to tote around the pillow sling. GOOD LUCK!!
