IC Awareness Day Needs YOUR Help! Together with Ortho Women's Health & Urology (OWHU), the Interstitial Cystitis Network (ICN), and the Interstitial Cystitis Association (ICA), NPWH is sponsoring IC Awareness Week 2008 (October 20-24) to promote awarenss of interstitial cystitis.  In advance of IC awareness week, we will launch the "IC3"  campaign - a grassroots SMS (short message service) text and email driven awareness campaign that aims to increase awareness of the three main symptoms associated with IC, which have been re-positioned as "The IC3" - Pain, Urgency and Frequency.  The IC3 campaign will work by sending out a wave of emails and SMS texts, asking people if they have IC3.  By responding, they will be forwarded to the AllAboutIC.com website to find out about the IC3, sign a petition of support for IC awareness, and enter a drawing to win a new iPod. In order for this campaign to succeed, we need your help. If you would like to participate, please send your cell phone number to IC@npwh.org.  Once we have your cell phone (which will not be used for any other purpose) you will receive the campaign text message.  When you receive the campaign text message on your cell phone, please forward it to colleagues, patients, friends and/or any other person you think might be interested in helping to raise awareness (and possibly win an iPod!).  This is a grassroots awareness campaign so we are depending on you to spread the word and ensure its success. Also feel free to pass this message on to colleagues, friends and patients so that we can start building our network.  In particular, anyone with patients who have IC this can be a very useful information tool.  It is easy to sign up.  If you have questions, please send an email to IC@npwh.org or call 202.543.9693 ext. 1.
