The ISG Has Reached the Finals of the National Lottery Awards Best Health Project With

Dear

I am hoping you will pass this message on to [XXXXXXX] from the Ichthyosis Support Group. Having met a few people with ichthyosis we thought this may be of interest to [XXXXX]

The ISG has reached the finals of the National Lottery Awards – Best Health Project With public support and votes we are in with a chance of winning, which will be fantastic in raising awareness of this rare and misunderstood condition.

If we are to gain votes we need to get our message out there and gain publicity through the media and are hoping [XXXXX] may help us to do this in a number of simple ways. These include:Re-tweeting the odd tweet we may send about our campaign or agreeing to be quoted in support of the work we do (please see example below), which we may then be able to use on our website, in media articles and for general publicity purposes. Maybe [XXXXX] will have their own ideas about they can support us?

Example Quote

“Having met a few people with ichthyosis I am fully supportive of the work of the Ichthyosis Support Group (ISG) and the people it helps. Ichthyosis is such a rare and unknown condition; leaving people feeling alone and isolated. The ISG provides individuals and families with a support network where they can gain expert advice and meet others similar to themselves. The ISG is a very deserving charity for this award so please vote for them, help raise awareness, and make a difference to the lives of people affected by ichthyosis.”

Voting will go live from the 19th June until 24th July and this will be when the publicity will take place.

We do hope that [XXXX] is as keen as we are to get this campaign into the public eye and hope [HE/SHE] may be able to support this worthwhile cause.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes
