Google the local TV stations and find the name of the station general manager and also see if they have a health segment. You should find email addresses and phone numbers. I did this and emailed the GM and also found the email to the health topic segment. I got an email back from the GM and then the producer of the health segment inviting me to come on air and tell my story and what TN Awareness Day is all about. I included a little of my story, what TN is and the web address of Tnnme and the Facial Pain Research site. My interview will air on Oct 7 on NBC local station out of our state capital. So the range of viewers is pretty much state wide. Good luck!
Update 9/14/2016: Show Cancelled:
I am going to release teal balloons with the names of some of my dearest friends with TN written on them. They will also have a slogan about TN Awareness Day though not sure which hashtag yet. I did this last year and posted pictures. Will do that too. My pain center is going to put up our poster! I hope to be able to post a picture of the PA I see along with the poster and me. She said she will wear teal for us! Raleigh Neurology Pain Center!

In preparation for Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day 2016 (October 7th,) I am creating images to convey the reality of TN, a brutal condition which normally goes unseen.
Awareness leads to funding, funding leads to research, and research leads to CURES.
This is me, making you all aware. Share this post and you can make someone aware of Trigeminal Neuralgia too!

As many of you know, Tatiana Colledanis facing a very cruel disease, trigeminal neuralgia, in the last 9 years. As part of the celebrations of the international day of awareness of the trigeminal neuralgia, 7 October, she created a kit with mug, key chain, pen, badge, magnet, and a informative, written by herself. All the rent with the sale of the kits will be fully reversed for the facial pain research foundation, in the United States, who is responsible for research in search of the cure of the disease, entity of which she is voluntary. The value of each kit is $ 35,00. Learn more... inform yourself... no one is free of this evil...
