Do You Know Oprah?
I learned recently that it took a major celeb like David Letterman almost 7 years to finally get on Oprah's show. I simply can't wait that long and I need your help to get there quicker. Please help me speak with Oprah about an important health matter. I need her voice to help educate others about stroke awareness and the connection between the brain, migraines, and the heart. If you are up to date on my story, you know this is a mission I am taking very seriously. While David Letterman made his "Oprah Log" a fun part of his show, I am using that same principle of asking others "Do you know Oprah?" and testing the principle of the six degrees of separation to try to make a connection with Oprah.While I have been doing a great deal of writing and talking about this issue (more than I let everyone know) I need your help to complete this journey. For example, I've sent articles to Dr. Oz (a cardiologist often seen on Oprah), contacted Oprah.com many,many times, and made my intentions known to Tedy's Team, Tedy Bruschi and his wife, and the American Stroke Association (Boston and RI affiliates)- I still need your help. While I have been making consistent progress, I have not yet reached my goal. For example, I was interviewed recently for the NY Times (Wed. January 14,2009) on the Cover of Business Daily section Read the NY Times article here on my blog
A reader from my blog noticed me in the NY Times and sent me this "touched up" photo to help me visualize my goals.
Please take a moment to post your own comments or ideas below. While this page has a "fun" tone I hope you know I am serious with my stroke awareness plan and hope you can help me follow through with my plan. After all, the Oprah log worked for Dave. With enough brains and motivation I believe anything is possible... Thank You. I appreciate any and all comments, leads, ideas you would be willing to provide here: Have A Great Idea on How I Can Speak to Oprah?Do you have a great plan? Share it!

Here's the link Stroke Resources:To help you describe the purpose of a show suggestion, I've provided these links below from previous article posts and videos on my site. Please feel free to reference these links and pass them on in your letter.My Goal: I have been working at trying to get through to Oprah and Dr. Oz to suggest a show about migraines,stroke and the heart connection and ideally developing a show for May 2008 or 2009 (May is Nat'l Stroke Awareness Month). Additionally, I have been working to try to get Tedy's Team, and Tedy Bruschi of the New England Patriots to speak nationally (to Oprah) about his stroke and his new book Never Give Up.
