What a blitz of PR! It’s amazing how people reach out and want to help. We’ve felt this way all along our journey with Bridget. And today was no different. In the past 8 days, we’ve had one radio discussion and 2 television appearances to spread the word of Batten Disease, Bridget and our imminent fundraising concert. All of these were because of people who know us from our past and present and are willing to connect to they’re networks and help us spread the word. We are so appreciative.

1. Joyce Schwegel, neighbor of Katie Kennicott who put us in touch with Rick Kogan on WGN Radio, The Sunday Papers. Air date 2/14/10 link: COMING SOON!

2. Jennie Lim, who taught with Sara is a friend with Ellee Pai Hong who helped us get a spot on the NBC morning show with Ginger Zee on 2/21/10 link: TRYING TO LOCATE!

3. Tracy O’Brien, an old high school friend of Sara’s who is an executive producer at CBS offering to have an interview by Jim Williams with our family airing on Monday, 2/22/10 link: cbs2chicago.com/local/batten.disease.bridget.2.1512046.html

More to come….
Chicago Tribune will have an article about our past 2 years as a family dealing with cancer and Batten Disease. We will also be featured in the local journal Quintessential Barrington in their March/April edition.

Thank you for all the attention on Bridget’s behalf. If she only knew she was this famous!
