RSD TV CAMPAIGN

From Jacy Hyman, coordinator of this campaign:

We are all ready to move forward with the TV campaign. Each week we will target a different show. Below is a list of ways that you can participate. I have also listed a schedule of shows we are targeting each week. I will post the addresses and telephone numbers by Friday of the week before each show is targeted, along with a reminder of the upcoming schedule.

How You Can Participate

  1. Send A Letter:
    Write your own letter, use the form letter, or combine the two. Include your name, address, and telephone number, and e-mail address. Angie and Jacy collaborated on a form letter which anyone can use if they want to.

  2. Send E-Mail
    This can be the same letter you mailed or a different letter

  3. Make A Telephone Call

  4. Do All Of The Above

  5. Contact Info For Targeted Programs Needed
    If you have any of the addresses, e-mail addresses, or phone numbers for any of the shows listed, please e-mail them to Jacy.

The Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Network is happy to support this campaign to bring RSD to national attention. We suggest that when you write your letters to the targeted TV programs, you include suggestions on how more information about RSD can be obtained, such as giving the location information to your favorite RSD-related web sites (doesn't have to be this one).

We have prepared a two page fact sheet on RSD that you may wish to include with your letter. It is available in two formats: a Web page and an RSD Fact Sheet PDF, which is better for printing/faxing and which requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to view.
