Publicity for the Campaign

After a #journorequest Tweet on Twitter at the beginning of the week a Freelance Journalist replied and offered to help in the search for media attention for the Campaign.  Today she has sent me the first draft of the Press Release she has prepared to add bits/amend to send out to national newspapers/magazines to see if they will run a story - it's a long shot, but worth a try.  I know how these things work and it depends on what kind of story they can turn it in to and if they have space.  To them it might just be another Charity story - but if they can grab hold of "something", it would give the Campaign a bit of a boost and hopefully a few more donations.

Struggling to get many replies at the moment on Twitter - think we are running out of Celeb's to ask who will reply.  Some don't mind getting Charitable Tweets and will respond to them, others won't reply at all and leave that side to their Agents/Managers, and I basically find that the latter won't help if there is nothing in it for them - i.e. you get no reply!

Someone on Twitter this evening told me that if it wasn't a cancer related charity then Celeb's would probably not be interested and that's basically because if you are not affected by something like Cystic Fibrosis - one of the UK's most common life-threatening conditions, then you show no interest.

Me and my little Team of ladies are not giving up easily though and will continue to Tweet as the urge/time grabs us to just try for a few more things for the Auction - you never know, we might be lucky and get a few more yes's! 

In the meantime, if anything comes of the Press Release, I'll make sure to update the Blog with news - fingers crossed!
