How do you start an organization to raise awareness?
I want to start and awareness group about rheumatoid arthritis. When i was 16 i was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis and sense than it has gotten worse. where i live there is no support groups or awareness groups. i would like to have the organization create money to help find a cure. I don’t know where to start. I would love to change someones life and help anyone that has to go through with what i go through no matter what age. Any suggestions would be helpful. This is really Important to me.
Good idea, Danielle,
Consider beginning with a support group:

See links there too.
