The Healing Project

[Guest guest]

Hello,

My name is and I am writing you to let you know about a

project that my aunt Debra has created. It is called The Healing

Project. Please feel free to check out our website at

www.thehealingproject.org. There you will find more info on the

project and why we are doing it. If you can help in any way, or if

you think that this site can help anybody that you know please pass

on the word.

The Healing Project (www.thehealingproject.org), a not-for-

profit organization based in New York, is seeking stories from and

about people dealing with life-changing illnesses.

The stories should offer comfort, knowledge, hope and encouragement

with the goal that a reader gains `take away value' from the sharing

of experiences.

Founded by New York businesswoman and breast cancer survivor, Debra

LaChance, The Healing Project is dedicated to establishing a

community that inspires those individuals affected by serious

illnesses.

" Our first project involves a series of anthologies called `Voices of

….' focusing on Alzheimer's, Lung Cancer, Alcoholism, Multiple

Sclerosis, and Breast Cancer " said Ms. LaChance. " We are asking for

organizations and individuals to help us get the word out about the

Project. "

" Our mission is to give people who have experienced a serious

illness, either themselves or through a loved one, the opportunity to

tell their stories so that others may learn from the `healing power'

of their words, " said d Ms LaChance.

" I was surrounded by words of encouragement and inspiration that I

believe helped in my recovery, but I quickly realized there are many

people who didn't have the same advantages. That was the moment The

Healing Project was born. As a philanthropic organization we can

give back, " Ms LaChance said.

Proceeds from book sales, donations, grants and sponsorship will be

channeled into areas of designated need to support individuals and

other charitable organizations.

The first books are scheduled to be published next year, and will

also contain a resource guide to further help the reader gain

information on the disease.

For a description of The Healing Project, how to submit stories and

Thank you for reading; I look forward to hearing from you in the

future.
