splashnews.com journalist looking for female TMAU sufferers story

The tmau.org.uk website has only been around a few months but already is having a big impact. The forum already has 30 members, and they already have an interview scheduled with Dr Robin Lachmann, who is the professional TMAU contact for sufferers at the London Adult Metabolism unit (ask Dr Lachmann a question).

Now a journalist (Laura Hinton) with splashnews.com has contacted them to find a female TMAU sufferer to tell their story for possible magazine or newspaper article material. This is a copy of the announcment from the tmau.org.uk front page. we hope they don't mind us posting it here.

News agency - seeks tmau sufferers for story

Laura hinton from splashnews.com is looking to write a feature on TMAU, this could be a great opportunity to get our story out there.

The agency syndicates to all of the major national newspapers and magazines.

We need YOU to volunteer !

Here's the email that Laura sent to me explaining what she is looking for.

"I'm emailing from Splash News Agency in London. We write real-life and human interest features for the national newspapers and the women's magazines. I know it's a long shot but I wondered if any females who suffer from trimethylaminuria would be happy to speak to me about their experiences in order to raise awareness of the condition? They would have to be photographed but can have a fake identity and I can request your website details are included in the copy.
I look forward to hearing from you....if people want to get in touch..they could just let me know a little about themselves like their age, where they're from and how the condition affects their life etc that would be really helpful. I can then let them know whether I think I can get their story placed. "

Laura provided a long list of national news papers and magazines that could potentially run the feature.

I know it is a big decision for anyone to make, but I would urge you to take courage from the fact that this could really advance our cause and help a lot of people in the process.
