Hi @Cora
Can you give a brief outline of your story, that you seek interest from journalists?
We would be able to provide further support.
You need to provide a "Hook" for your story, that is something that will grab the attention of the reader. -

Hi @Cora, wishing you luck with this!
A lot of news outlets and publications pick up stories from social media, so I'd definitely second the Twitter suggestion if you haven't tried it already! You could also try pitching a story by emailing press contacts- you can usually find their details on the company's website. The Mighty doesn't pay contributors but accepts new pitches about disability, so they might be a good place to start! -
Hi @Cora
Got some suggestions for you to research for gloves, that are suitable for your needs.
Try the British Skin Foundation on tel: 0207 391 6341.
Contact British Association of Dermatologist on tel: 0207 383 0266.
Royal College of Occupational Therapists on tel: 020 7357 6480.
I would also suggest you get an appointment with your GP, to get an appointment with a Dermatologist.
I am also tagging this post for @JeanScope, she is expert in all things about Occupaptional Therapy.
Keep us informed.
