Hi All,

As many of you are aware, we (RLS-UK) wrote to hundreds of newspapers over the last few weeks to see if they would run articles on RLS. Quite a few came back. However, the number of people who have come forward as volunteers is low so we will not be able to feature in all of the newspapers who agreed to run an article. We expect an article in the Birmingham Mail next week, possibly Wednesday (thank you to the volunteer), and another possibly lined up for the Manchester area (two names have been out forward for this one).

So, a last attempt to see if any of you live in any of the following areas and if you would be willing to take part in a local newspaper story...

Areas we still needs volunteers for are:

1. East Sussex or West Kent

2. Bradford

3. Leicester / Leicestershire

4. Leamington, Warwick or Kenilworth area of Warwickshire (or closeby)

5. Borehamwood, Elstree, Radlett or Aldenham area of Hertfordshire (or closeby)

6. Moray area or North East Scotland

Please contact me chair@rls-uk.org if you would be interested in taking part.

Thanks

Daragh

TUT TUT.... Cheeky. lol.

I wish i did Daragh, but i dont live remotely anywhere near any of those area's,

I am sorry to hear though that the response has been poor.

Maybe next time, if there is a next time. You could ask us where we live and if any one would do their story, then contact papers in the area's of members who put themselves forward.... Just a thought.

Seems such a waste of all your time and effort contacting all those papers, and you didnt get the feed back from people on here.

Oh....!! now you have changed the title of your blog... LOL.

So sorry I can't help daragh ...I really would love to..but I am nowhere near any of those areas. COME ON PEOPLE ....IF YOU LIVE IN THOSE AREAS...HELP US OUT AND GET THE MESSAGE ACROSS!!!! If you are worried about the publicity aspect I'm sure the newspaper would use a fake name. I know that would bother some people.

Hi Tpebop

If you're happy to, please could you send me (chair@rls-uk.org) your contact details (name, address, phone, email) and I can pass them to the newspaper for consideration. Many thanks for your kind offer.
