October is the time to raise awareness about Niemann-Pick Disease. We need to get the word out about this rare disease - to doctors, to families, to government leaders, and to the general public.
Activities can be simple or complicated but take some time during October to reach out and tell your story! Below are some tools available from NNPDF to help you.
We invite and encourage each family to look within their family structure, friends and community support networks to create their own team and sponsor an awareness campaign and/or fund raising event during October 2008.
It has been a team effort which has propelled the foundation forward the past sixteen years and it is a team effort that is the key to empowerment against this disease.
Won’t you please join us in our efforts to raise awareness of NPD and to illuminate the vital call for continued funding of urgently needed research into Niemann-Pick Disease?
BE CREATIVE ~ SURPRISE US!
Below are some tools available from the NNPDF Central office to help you. We ask that you notify the foundation office of your events so that we can post them onto the web site. We want to be supportive of you as you prepare for your event, and sharing your team information will serve to inspire other families as well.
Let us do the work for you!
Attached is an example of a Family and Friends prototype letter and flyer that we will help you customize to your unique family situation. Simply complete the family questionnaire, return to the NNPDF office, and we will have the customized letter and information flyers printed and shipped to you. All you need to do is address your envelopes, add postage and mail them out!
