Oh my gosh, i didnt think of that. I'm going to tell my hd forum about it, and im going to put up flyers locally. And, this is really huge, there is a world hd convention that happens once a year, and this year it just happens to be coming here to vancouver in september, and my hd clinic are the people organizing it, and so they said we can sell tickets at the convention too, and then draw the ticket at the convention. Wow, i would be honored if anyone here wanted to buy tickets too. I will be selling tickets for $5.00 each. The secretary at the hd clinic told me she will be happy to receive the ticket sales for me, and she has a special account set up for the Michael Hayden lab. I chose not to do this through the Canadian Huntington's Society, even though it would have got more publicity that way, but i wanted All the money to go straight to research, not some of it for admin fees. Michel Haydens research is world renouned, and he speaks all over the world, and i'm so lucky to go to ubc where his clinic is. I will do a posting tonight with ticket info for anyone that would like it :)
I will buy quite a few tickets if it is worked out to open it up to us too!
Oh, thank you sweetheart! I will look up the mailing and account info for the hd clinic tonight, and get my info together :) :) :)
