Sponsorship
It is my goal to have this be a self sustaining site from a financial point of view, after seeking out some initial sponsorships. Of course, this blog is just the drawing board for the ultimate site. I've registered www.atkinsforseizures.com as the address for the new site.
I am looking for three classes of sponsors:
Advertisers:
"Epilepsy is the world's second most prevalent neurological disorder, which is characterized by recurrent seizures. There are twice as many people with epilepsy than the combined number of people with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, and cystic fibrosis. Epilepsy can develop in a person of any age, although it is most common during the childhood and senior years" - according to http://www.xycorpmed.com/en/epilepsy.phtml
A website dedicated to a new approach to this disease should get tremendous traffic. I am seeking sponsors that are interested in their name included on our pages. This will be a professional website & will require some expense in the technological/talent department to set up and maintain.
Charities/Foundations:
Numerous organizations exist to promote medicine and health. Many are dedicated to people suffering from epilespy. Others are targeted toward research, alternative medicine, etc. I believe that a few dollars here will go a long way to benefit people the world over as we get the word out regarding this unique, new therapy for seizures.
Personal donations:
I have set up a paypal account dedicated to "Atkins for Seizures". You can access it with the button on the right, in the link section.
Any donation will be appreciated. $2 or $3 dollars through paypal will add up!
How will the money be used? The bulk of the cost for this site will be the initial hosting and design. I also will be doing some advertising - though I hope word of mouth will help. Some 'seed' money will be needed for a couple of the projects designed to make this a self sustaining site (see my next entry "Sustainability").
