This is the last in a series of four Fighting Back Podcast episodes that feature audio from the Fighter Mom Friday event, held on May 9, 2008 in New York City.  The workshop was designed to educate, inform, and inspire attendees fighting against diseases or conditions affecting their children. The day-long event featured a number of speakers, and several of them have agreed to allow us to present in podcast form the information they offered during the event.

Episode 17 features a seminar from Steve Eichenauer, a partner at lobbying firm Public Strategies Washington.  He discusses how Fighter Moms can talk to their legislative representatives to raise awareness of their cause and attempt to increase funding.

Note: Mr. Eichenauer refers during his talk to a one page information sheet that he handed out during the seminar.  That information sheet is available for download in .pdf format Fighter Mom Multimedia page.
