Video chats with Nic? Maybe...
I've been thinking about doing regular youtube videos for the blog. For me, it is a chance to branch out into a different type of media and also a way for me to connect with folks who may not want to read a long post but would be willing to watch a video.
My goal is to keep them around 10 minutes or less... but I can tell you now, occasionally they may go longer than that. Depends on the topic. To that end, below is a video I made the other day and I'm chatting about the money in the breast cancer community.
I think that fundraising in the breast cancer community is missing one group: Survivors
We raise money for research. We raise money for a cure. We raise money to help women get access to testing and treatment. But once a woman is diagnosed and treated for breast cancer, she's thrown back into the world with fragile (or broken) finances, a body that isn't the same and often bears a lot of side effects and problems that make life more challenging... and no resources.
I don't want to stop looking for a cure or to help people get mammograms or transportation/access to medical services. But I wish we could see a movement happen that helps out people who are struggling financially thanks to breast cancer.
After watching the video... let me know what you think below. Some of the comments I received on the facebook page were really insightful.
Thanks for watching... please share your comments and thoughts below. And if you liked this post, please share it widely.
