Subject: Raising awareness for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Hiya,
My name is Gemma Nicholls.

I have Rheumatoid, I am currently running a campaign for an official Rheumatoid awareness day.

I have the TV programmes: ITV's This Morning & Daybreak interested in possibly talking about the Campaign i am running & Rheumatoid awareness on their shows.

I also have a Magazine that is going to put the Campaign & Also raise Rheumatoid awareness. The Magazine is called Chat, With over half a million readers.

The Campaign i am running is on facebook, Called: Campaign for an official Rheumatoid Awareness Day, Feel free to join & also tell fellow sufferers.

I am also an Author, I have my book coming out very soon, The book is called: Fighting Rheumatoid.
It's my Autobiography, About how i coped when i first had the news that i had RA. I had it from the age of 16, Finaly got diagnosed when i was 18. I am now 27. I want to get sufferers out there heard, To stop people thinking we only have ''aches & pains''. I am making a stand for Rheumatoid sufferers & i hope that you will join our wonderful Campaign.

The more people that join, The more chance Rheumatoid sufferers have of getting heard.

Thankyou very much - Gemma :o)

i think what you are doing is really fantastic - I have been genuinely hurt by people - staff members, family and basic strangers who have ill conceived ideas of what rheumatoid arthritis is and how they can fix me. An information campaign is fantastic - i will get on to facebook and join - this is a fantastic initiative.

Hi hon well done fantastic news. I have been off sick recently and had to explain in great detail to our occupational health nurse how ra effects me daily. She was agast and even commented herself how much lack of awarness there is around ra and other autoimmune diseases and how much more should be done to raise awarness for sufferers x

Well Done you :)I have had ra since i was 14 and I am now 21, I feel like i'm not only fighting with the disease but other peoples perception that it is simply an 'old persons' disease.
