Petition to Discovery channel requesting a documentary of gastroparesis.
GP is a serious condition which is undiagnosed and highly misunderstood.
However, it is more common than most people think. Most people have
never even heard about it. We need to make the public aware of this
problem so those suffering from it can begin to seek more adequate
treatment. In order to do so, G-PACT is sponsoring an effort being made
to encourage the Discovery Channel to do a documentary on this
condition. Please sign this petition if you have not already done so!
Initial petition was online from Aug. 15-Dec. 15, 2001. If you missed
the opportunity to sign the petition then, now is your chance! http://www.petitionpetition.com/cgi/petition.cgi?id=4321.
Please contact Colleen Udell at cudell@g-pact.org with any questions
regarding the petition.
