*** CALL-TO-ACTION ***
I am appealing to all my friends to help. Please read the
following post thoroughly. I am not asking you to give money or really much
more than your time. You will benefit is so many ways by supporting this initiative to raise awareness and money and all it will take is a few lines from you that will be published in an anthology, sold with the proceeds going to Ataxia Canada and your inspirational message distributed worldwide with international exposure but may actually help someone or touch their lives in some positive way that you will never know.
Although it can present challenges, I remind myself it could always be worse. I choose to inspire people with the message every person has a purpose, and the challenges we face, and overcome, are what makes us the wonderful individuals we are. As writers, we have the power to send a message to our readers, and this is why you have been contacted today.
Ataxia Canada has been informed, and is thrilled to be on board. An event page has been setup, but still needs some work before it will be fully up and running.
Please help those in need of help themselves.
We are working with author Melissa Ann on a project for Ataxia
awareness. The project will be involving authors worldwide. I hope you'll take
a moment to read Melissa's letter below about the project. We could really use your help.

I am reaching out today to raise awareness about an
illness which is near and dear to my heart. I was diagnosed with Episodic
Ataxia in 2005, but have lived with it since birth. Ataxia is a progressive
disease that attacks the nervous system. At this time there is no known cure.
The link below will provide a better understanding of the challenges an
individual with Ataxia will face throughout the course of their life.
Although it can present challenges, I remind myself it could always be worse. I choose to inspire people with the message every person has a purpose, and the challenges we face, and overcome, are what makes us the wonderful individuals we are. As writers, we have the power to send a message to our readers, and this is why you have been contacted today.
With the help of the author community, I would like to
create an anthology. Each author who participates will be asked to write an
inspirational message. Whether it’s done through poetry, a short story or a
personal experience is up to you, the writer. Once complete, the work will be
published in e-book format. My vision is to make this a daily reading
experience for the reader. Each day the reader will fire up their e-reader and
can read a new, inspirational message from a different author. This book isn’t
about writing in a specific genre, but rather about writing from the heart, and
let’s face it, who better to do this than an author? This project will
not only raise awareness and money for Ataxia, but it will also allow the
reader to see our deeper sides and perhaps help them in some way.
Guidelines for your masterpieces is as follows:
1. There is no word count requirement, but please keep in
mind it is meant as a daily reading.
2. The message has to be inspirational or motivational
3. Editing is your responsibility. The book will be
published as is.
Deadline for final submission is October 10, 2015, no
later than 5:00pm EST.
The book will launch November 24th and all proceeds will
be donated directly to Ataxia Canada.
A & L Promotions (on Facebook), website here, will be
hosting an event for the launch November 24th through November 27th.
Contributing authors will be participating in takeovers during this time. The
last day of the event, a silent auction will be held, where signed paperback
books, which have been donated, will be bid upon.
Ataxia Canada has been informed, and is thrilled to be on board. An event page has been setup, but still needs some work before it will be fully up and running.
It is with deepest hope you will consider
participating in this project. Whether it’s to contribute to the anthology
and/or donate a signed paperback, every ounce of support counts. It is with
you, my fellow authors, a difference can, and will, be made. Let’s use our gift
to send messages of love and inspiration.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. It is
with sincerest hope you will take part in this mission and be the pebbles that
create the ripple effect of changing the world.
