Kris Barger's 2nd Annual Myositis Awareness and Fundraising Campaign

You may have received this in an email format but if I didn't have your email address and you are still checking in on me, I wanted to reach out to you as well.

As many of you know, last year I had a walking campaign to raise money and awareness for Myositis and Myositis research. This year I would like to reach a greater audience and am hoping to connect with local media to assist me. I am not sure if you have connections with local media but I would appreciate your assistance if you do.

Although I can't attach it to my blog, I have a draft news release I received from The Myositis Association which will provide some general information regarding this rare disease.
This year I volunteered to co-chair a support group here in Wisconsin. We are just at the beginning steps of that process but it would be wonderful to reach out to a larger audience and offer the support and services of the Myositis Association.
I would be willing to share my story and can be contacted either by email or phone.

I have a campaign site set up again to collect money for research.
