I've done fund raisers before on a small scale and I gathered friends and family and we did a Bowl-A-Thon. We raised about $10,000, so it was well worth it. You have to get people educated on what you are trying to do and have them help you. It sort of takes off from there. I was doing it for a non-profit corporation, so all the donations were tax deductible, which makes it much easier for people to give you money.

I know someone who did a garage sale to raise money. Friends and neighbors donated their stuff to the garage sale and also stopped by to buy things. Publicize it. You could also do a bake sale at the garage sale. Every little bit helps!

Dean: There are many foundations which would give money for research on a rare syndrome.
http://www.templeton.org/
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Milken Family Foundation
Have you searched the internet? There are a plethora of directories, etc.

Dean: Let me know what responses you get. I can also refer you to a woman who does 'grant writing.' She writes to the foundations and does all the follow-up. Her fee is very reasonable.
I wish you well on your journey.

Dear Dean,
I think that it's important to recognize that ANY symptoms (regarless of what official-sounding name the medicos or psychs give them) can be relieved with natural remedies. The simple fact is that any group of symptoms is simply given a name as a "disease"--probably to identify which group of symptoms they're dealing with so as to know which drugs to dish out.
The truth to handling just about anything is contained in the "Natural Cures" books. Whether one is being poisoned by conventional diets, signals in the air or drugs in our systems, just about any disease can be cured by changing one's diet and lifestyle.
If you REALLY want to obtain money for the "research of a rare syndrome", ask a pharmaceutical company to sponsor the research. If there's a buck to be made, you're darn-tootin' they'll jump on the wagon!
