- Make a point of liking, sharing and tweeting CMV posts daily. If you don’t already follow us on Twitter, please do. We are @CrohnsVaccine.
- Join some IBD related Facebook groups and forums and start talking about the vaccine there.
- Talk to your friends and relatives about CMV.
- Raise the MAP issue with your Gastroenterologist.
- Ask to leave literature in your local GP’s surgery. You can download it here: http://cmv.com/media1/ There are versions in other languages too!
- Arrange to leave a collecting tin at your local shop (s). We can help you with this – it’s easy!
- Check out local up-coming fayres / events in your local paper and contact the organiser to ask if you can put a collecting tin there or have a raffle at the venue for CMV.
- Drop promotional cards into public toilets and other suitable (and legal) places. We can provide some to start you off. Leave us a message on the page.
- Display a car sticker and / circular ‘tax disc replacement’ (in UK, tax discs are no longer required so these fill a gap nicely!). We will have some professional rear window logos ready soon, but in the meantime you can download our logo + use sticky backed plastic to secure.
- Write to your MP and ask for political support.
- Write to local newspapers or magazines. Even a simple letter published on the Letters page would help.
- Sort out the attic / garage and sell off some old stuff to donate the money for CMV.
- Set up a Just Giving or Crowdrise account, tell your story and set a personal target. Promote it on the Heroes page.
- Organise a fundraising event to raise money for CMV.
And don’t hesitate to ask us for help. We are ready to help in whatever you decide to do!
Happy fundraising and vaccine awareness raising!
