Artist donating to Lupus needs your photos for illustrations
|

| Jacquie 2005-01-28, 8:11 am |
| Hello, I have recently been diagnosed with Systemic Lupus with little
prior knowledge of the disease. Unfortunately it is a disease that few
people know a whole lot about.
Therefore I would like to be part of anything that will add awareness.
As an artist, illustrator I have been working on a series of
illustrations titled genuine (real people, real moments) capturing how
people with Lupus can lead normal happy lives. We can still do
anything!
I am wondering if anyone has any events planned for fundraising that I
might be able to utilize my art works and donate a portion of all
proceeds to lupus.
I am trying to do art work of other families coping with Lupus, maybe
others can submit photos of their family genuine special moments and
we can capture moments of real life people, leading real normal lives
despite the fact that they have lupus.
I think it is a good way to get people involved and interested.
If anyone can help add awareness of what i am doing or maybe asking
people to submit their photos that would be excellent to help. I'm
hoping to capture unposed photos of real moments, like families
laughing, playing games, fishing, biking, birthdays whatever. Much
appreciated!
Please email me your photos or info to jpotvin77@yahoo.ca
Thank you and take care, Jacquie

Hello Jacquie and welcome,
We know how little others know about Lupus.
You seem to be posting from Canada? Born in Alberta but now in Ontario?
I've found your web pages by searching the archives of newsgroups.
To be honest, anyone on the www or newsgroups, I would think, would be
wary of sending out their photos, regardless of who is asking. And I
would ask that if you stay around here and ever have access to such, that
you please not propagate such to others nor display them anywhere without
the person's permission. Some negative things can be done with one's
photos. I've seen such displayed on other newsgroups. Perhaps you are
young and/or new to the internet? I hope you'll understand that it's not
"kosher" to ask for members email their photos to you.
The members here have a right to their privacy. I'm sure you'll understand
if you stick around and chat it up with the group a bit.
Read some of the posts, tell us about your Lupus experience, join in on
threads where you can relate.
We can be here for you also. Keep in touch.

Hi Jacquie, I forgot about the fund-raising idea. There's lots of
Americans here and so they often post about fund-raising ideas in the US,
but Canadians probably do fund-raising also. There's a Lupus Foundation in
probably each Province.
And there's the main Canada Lupus website. You could check there for
fund-raising events.
Here's the main one, http://www.lupuscanada.org/en/
Here's the Ontario one.http://www.lupushamilton.com/
The other idea that I had a while ago, was that campus radio (at
Universities) sometimes have their own radio shows.
(non-commercial).
They often do "educational promos" for free on the station (TV or radio).
They sometimes also have programming for women or health matters. They
might help you if you want to participate in an interview of yourself and
someone else, in your area, who has Lupus. So check with your "school"
(or other resources above) as to what they have to offer for raising
awareness and/or possibly donating your artwork for fund-raising. Thank
you for anything you can do to raise awareness.

| Thank you for your reply J. APpreciate all your concern!! Actually I
have gotten countless emails already and it's so exciting! I hadn't
realized it was kosher to ask for photos, no I'm not new to the
internet I'm old ;-) I suppose like many other I like to think of
people as genuinely good and honest and lucky for that I have received
many photos which will definately be a huge help in our art fundraiser!
Thanks for your recommendations I've already advertised in the women's
fitness clubs and with the local Lupus chapters as well as hoospitals.
As per university radios I've surpassed that and already have a deal
with the local radio station and newspapers. And the legal issues taken
care of with waivers already mailed out and in process. Even though I
was in school I'm definately no youngen, I went back to school after 10
years in the corporate world as an executive. Thank you for your
concern! and take care! Jcquie
