AREAS OF ASSISTANCE

Here’s the big list of what we’re looking for help with at the moment, perhaps one of these areas is of interest to you, or triggers an idea or two. Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance just for checking out this list!


1. Organizers:
   
   If you or anyone you know has experience in organizing events, we're looking for volunteers to help on the organizational side of things.
   
   
2. Marketing/PR Individuals (or those good on phones):
   
   We're looking for volunteers who have experience with marketing; web design, print matter, logos etc, to help get our message out and offer design assistance for ads, sponsor materials and web page maintenance.
   
   
3. Mapping Gurus:
   
   We're looking for volunteers and contacts to help with mapping the exact route (ensuring it’s as skater-friendly as possible) and/or handling any special permits or other regulatory matters. If anyone's experienced with software such as Google Earth which lets you almost skate the roads as you watch satellite imagery of what you're mapping out, that'd be even better!
   
   
4. College Contacting Liaisons:
   
   We're looking for volunteers who could call establish contacts with colleges along the route. (You can see the route at http://www.addamerica.com/RoutePlusMap.htm.
   
   
5. Film/Documentary Individuals:
   
   We're looking for experienced volunteers who would be interested in filming and putting together an inline/ADD documentary of the lead-up to and execution of this journey.
   
   
6. Inline Community Liaisons:
   
   We're looking for a volunteer with connections in the inline skating community to contact others in the community and help with coordinating skating club efforts and even skate-a-legs, opportunities for local skaters and clubs to skate along with our journey of a marathon or day's skate.
   
   
7. Alternative Fuel Community Liaisons:
   
   We're looking for connections to the alternative fuel community. Specifically, at present we appear to have a potential electric vehicle sponsor for our lead vehicle, but are in need of at least one other electric vehicle and one or perhaps two bio-diesel converted vehicles (preferably campers) to assist us in this journey.
   
   
8. Hollywood Liaisons:
   
   We're looking for connections to Hollywood in either: Documentaries; Inline Skating; Or ADD. Perhaps this could be made into a reality show, a 30 minute spot on MTV, or who-knows-what. But that community alone has enough money and motivation to significantly help us on our way. Many are also ADDers or Inline skating enthusiasts!!!
   
   
9. Health Professionals:
   
   We're looking for volunteers (both local and along the way) that could help with acupuncture, massage, nutrition, and any other health concerns (such as a sports trainer) over both the remainder of training and the course of the journey. We'd like to have one or several of these individuals even on-board for the journey to assist us along the way.
   
   
10. Sponsor/Endorsement Professional & Liaison:
    
    Last, but not least, we're looking for connections or contacts to help get product endorsements and donations in many, many key areas (see below for a detailed list). We would really be grateful for any assistance in this area.
