Step 1
Learn as much about the disease as you can before attempting to promote it to others. Do a literature research at a library or university to give you the most accurate information about the dangers, progression and symptoms of the disease.
-
Step 2
Search online for information regarding celebrities who have done promotion on the disease. For example, Michael J. Fox has been integral in raising awareness about Parkinson's disease. Take notice of the various charity, fund raising, and public appearances he's made in an effort to educate the masses.
-
Step 3
Organize a community endeavor in conjunction with a national disease prevention chapter to raise awareness about the disease you are trying to promote. Like Michael J. Fox, you should take it upon yourself to spread the message about how important it is to research and cure the disease you have chosen. Talk to your city council members about having a possible community drive to raise money.
-
Step 4
Put together a committee of people to help you with a fund raiser to donate to an organization that researches cures for the disease you have taken on. Start a foundation to promote disease research just as Michael J. Fox did for Parkinson's Disease. Ensure that you get proper endorsement to develop a foundation; search the web for instructions on how to properly start and fund a foundation.
-
Step 5
Visit people stricken with the disease you have chosen to get firsthand accounts of their struggles and what they think should be priorities in research and education. Be an active advocate who not only discusses the disease from a theoretical standpoint but who can also attest to their involvement with people who have the disease.
