A lot of people ask me if/how they can help MDJunction grow and help more people.

Well… we do need your help!

Bellow is a small list of things I thoughtof it’s under 3 categories. On site, other places and people you know.I don’t expect everyone to start fulltime work on this, but when you do have some spare time please give this a thought ;-)

On Site

This is easy…

Be nice to everyone, join discussions and let people know your thoughts, hug people – everyone likes to be hugged, if you feel you can become a group leader – let us know, review your doctors (add them if no one did before), Invite your caretaker to help the group, write a diary (and comment others) and write articles related to your condition.

I know ‘Article’ is a big word, but what we really need is your opinion and point of view. You can write about your personal experiences, you can write some info about your condition (symptoms, treatments, and famous people), you can research a bit about clinics, associations, offline support groups – anything that might benefit others. That’s why we’re all here.

Other Places

The most important thing is Word-Of-Mouth. Tell people about MDJunction, about your experiences and what you gain. The more people know the better.

If you have a page on MySpace, FaceBook, friendster etc’ please link to your support group from there, make it easy for people to find it. If you write a blog – Please please please write about us ;-).

Many of our members participate in all sorts of forums. If you think it’s relevant, tell people in those forums about MDJunction. You can even link to it from your email signature (One of our members sent me an email and his signature said ‘I believe in People Helping People’. It was a link to MDJunction !!).

The help is not limited to the internet. You can tell your doctor, at the clinic or at a support group.

People you know (or can reach).

Fortunately (or not) humans still rule the earth. We all know people. They know people. And many of us know how to get to people…

All the people I describe bellow can be pros on a national level, but it’s just as good if they do it as amateurs in the basement.

So - Do you know?

Reporters, Bloggers, people who work in/with Organizations & Associations, website owners, Land base support group leaders and members ????? If you do, please tell them about MDJunction. they can help a lot in spreading the word around.

Thanks everyone!
