Dear _______:
I/my loved one was diagnosed ___ years ago with a rare and incurable illness called pulmonary hypertension (PH). Pulmonary hypertension is often misdiagnosed, causing many people to lose valuable treatment time and leading to a poor prognosis. Your coverage of pulmonary hypertension will help save lives.
Enclosed please find a packet of resources including a CD-ROM illustrating the impact of PH of an individual and fact sheets that outline the impact of the illness and its treatments on women, children, African Americans and others.
I would like to schedule a time to talk with you about the impact of PH on my and on approximately 100,000 other Americans. Feel free to contact me at (CONTACT INFO). In addition, the Pulmonary Hypertension Association can be reached via their website at www.phassociation.org. Here you will find information about PH that is designed specifically for members of the media.
Thank you for your time and concern in ending this fatal disease.
Sincerely,
Your Name
