I have been trying to get the word out to national news sources about Josh and all that he did, including writing this blog, and his book. So far I have had no success doing this, despite sending the letter I wrote out twice. My new idea is to have people who knew Josh send in letters about him and all the good he did, as well as any personal stories where Josh helped you, to these same sources. The more letters/e-mails regarding Josh, the more likely someone may stand up and take notice. I am asking that those of you out there who would like to help please send your letters to:

CNN --> http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form11b.html?2
Nightly News with Brian Williams --> Nightly@NBC.com
TODAY --> Please send story ideas to Noah Kotch, Senior Producer, 379E-1, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10112 OR e-mail --> TODAY@nbcuni.com
Ellen Degeneres --> http://ellen.warnerbros.com/show/respond/?PlugID=10
Oprah Winfrey (specifically for her book club) --> https://www.oprah.com/ownshow/plug_form.html?plug_id=220

Like I said, anything you could do to help would be greatly appreciated. And as it is March 4th, happy birthday Josh, we all love and miss you.

Thanks!

I am a friend of Josh's who works in Public Relations (basically trying to get the media to cover my company news) and have some thoughts about how to get the word out there. Drop me a line if you want to talk. Krysta Pellegrino krystadawn@hotmail.com

each chronic illness has its own limitations and how to cure them, sometimes we think is a fad but the best person to determine it is the specialist, so they should always refer to medical specialist ..

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I didn't know Josh I have just found this blog when I was looking for disability blogs.

I have Myotonic dystrophy (also a kind of muscular dytrophy) and am blogging about my experiences of trying to have a baby without passing on my condition.

I wish you lots of luck in your blog and awareness campaign.
