Blogging and Social Media
Blogs are a great way to raise awareness about issues that are important to you. If you have a blog, you can support GAPPS by writing regularly about the need for more research funding for prematurity and stillbirth. If you don’t already have a blog, it’s easy to start one. There are many free blog-hosting services available including Blogger and WordPress.
Using Social Media
Another way to make your voice heard is to write about why preterm birth and stillbirth research is important, or share your personal story through social media venues including Facebook, Twitter and blogs. Here are some examples:
- GAPPS Facebook page
