I just received notification that the Spasmodic Dysphonia Share Your Story essay contest is now open. For those who are unaware of what this is, the National Spasmodic Dysphonia Association (NSDA) is sponsoring a contest where people were supposed to write about their experiences with spasmodic dysphonia. The theme is:
Having a voice disorder does not mean your story cannot be heard. What if you had the world's attention for 15 minutes? What would you say about SD? Help us share your story with the rest of the world.
We are looking for stories about how SD has impacted your life for the better, what lessons you have learned from having SD and want to share with others, and how has SD made you live your life more boldly?
The link to the contest can be found here: http://www.dysphonia.org/support/personal.asp
Of course, I would appreciate if you could toss in a vote for me :). I am way at the end, though (as Arwyn Yarwood-Hoeppner), as this is an alphabetical list! Curse my choosing to hyphenate my maiden name and married name together! However, I encourage you to vote for any and all that you feel embody the theme well.
Deadline is January 5th, so don't put off the voting too long!

Arwyn-
I just got the email from the NSDA today and can't wait to "dig in" to the stories. I am looking forward to reading yours.
Hope you are still doing well!
Merry Christmas Arwyn!
