Hello all,
this is a little off topic, but I hope you'll bear with me.
Down here in Australia some of us are interested in setting up a local
(perhaps national) echo for the support of cancer sufferers. Nothing
official as yet - I'm just a point and an interested party.
The idea is that people suffering from cancer can communicate and share
experience, information and simply ideas. Organisations, such as
Cancer Societies already do a similar thing, albeit non-electronically.
What I was wondering is: does such an echo exist elsewhere in the
world? And if it does, where is it and what is it called? If such an
echo does exist I would be *very* interested in knowing something of
its nature.
I doubt that importation of such an echo would be a viable option, but
contact with some of the participants via netmail could be of great
value to us.
Looking forward to your response, and thanks,
Rob.
