Do you think you have a good story about your experience with hep C to share ??
Last night I was listening to the radio program on NPR, "This American Life". They did a segment about AIDs. It hit me, once again, how everyone knows about AIDs and so few know about hep C.
I had this idea, that if a bunch of us contacted them pitching our stories, that maybe they'd do a show with various segments on Hep C.

I already sent in my story.

If they are interested, they will contact you. They interview you and yes, I'm sure they edit the story. It's on the radio so grammar isn't important.
I gave a brief summary of my experience. You can read their suggestions for submitting pitches on the link I provided.
Danni~ Thanks for the encouragement.
My hope is simply to spread awareness. If they are interested, perhaps they can do several segments on different people touched by hep C.

You are so well spoken(written),how did you organize the story?Chronologically or parts of your story that were the roughest?Just curious.I used to be in the top 98%percentile for Literacy in the United States but I struggle to express myself now.Will they edit the grammar and the story?
I think your story would be great if it was shown on such a media,it gets the message out there and would be a source of inspiration for many.
I thought if they get barraged with people wanting to tell their hep C related story, and actually do a program about hep C, it would help spread awareness about the virus.
One of my favorite things from NPR was a story project. They complied many many stories from about 1-6 minutes on a variety of topics, love, death, christmas, etc. It was wonderful.

Yeah, it would be interesting. I've heard many stories over the years, most would not be mine to repeat, but I would be interested in hearing....possibly contributing.
In my head...... I would mentally break them up into basic types of stories; diagnosis stories, doctor stories, treatment stories, possibly stories of how people treated you; on the internet and in "real" life. Oh yeah......post treatment, transplant, and other stories that range from humor, to sadness and hope.
