What is PRP?

SUBJECT: ….Last Call for Support
It has been a long road for me since the onset of
my version of PRP in early August 2012.
But I was one of the lucky travelers. My journey as a PRP patient ended after only 20 months, Moreover, my Declaration of Remissioin (April,8, 2014) was defined as “no remnants and no PRP-related meds.” I was “Home free!”
But my PRP journey didn’t end with remission.
Much to my wife’s chagrin, I immediately transitioned from patient to advocate. I came out of retirement and have worked thousands of hours building the PRP Global Database (over 5,000 PRP patient profiles), publishing a newsletter (April 2014 to October 2015, 24 issues and 600 pages), creating the PRP Survival Guide (800 webpages), and writing the 600-second PRP Roadmap (342 pages and over 40,000 words). I was also a Founding Director for the International Alliance of Dermatology Patient Organizations (GlobalSkin) and facilitated PRP research at Oregon Health and Science University, Thomas Jefferson University and UCLA and USC.
I have been an unpaid, volunteer for over a decade.
Unfortunately the proverbial well (financial support from PRP patients and caregivers) is dry. More importantly, the next five days (June 2-6) will determine whether my involvement with the PRP global community will continue at any level.
- I MUST move the PRP Global Database database back to Harmonic-Data where it was hosted. It is a matter of data security and support.
- I MUST find technical support from a source other than GoDaddy to clean up the 800-plus webpages in the PRP Survival Guide.
- I MUST find a source — other than Constant Contact — to conduct PRP-related surveys. The repeated failure of their Submit Survey button is unacceptable.
But most of all — I need to FINISH the PRP Survival Guide and provide easy access to access to information I have been gathering since early 2013.
Whatever you can do to help RIGHT NOW will determine what I can do after FRIDAY…or if there is actually a “next Monday”.
My goal is to make to make the PRP Survival Guide totally self-sufficient. No more fundraising.
Please consider a FINAL donation to the PRP Alliance in ANY AMOUNT.
