March 25th National CP Awareness Day

Filed under: Musings — MetzgerBusiness @ 2:48 pm

I’m going off topic today, sort of.

Today is National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day. For those who don’t already know the origins of this blog are my children and my oldest daughter has Cerebral Palsy.

When I first started blogging regularly Haley’s Cerebral Palsy was much of my inspiration and it led to the 2009 Father of the year award which led to this blog which led to my involvement in Let’s Cure CP (LCCP).

LCCP is an organization that was founded to support researching potential cures for Cerebral Palsy here in the US. We were founded in April of 2010 and have already raise over $30,000 that is going directly to CP research. We have already commissioned two studies in the US.

Today I ask my readers to help support Let’s Cure CP by:
1) Joining our Facebook page.
2) Join our news letter at LetsCureCP.org
3) Buy a Let’s Cure CP Shirt in honor of National Let’s Cure CP Day.

Talking DADVocate Project

Filed under: Musings,Social Media — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , — MetzgerBusiness @ 9:45 pm

I don’t usually talk directly about my other projects on this blog as it is geared to a discussion on social media and business. However I form many of my ideas for this blog by executing them over on The DADvocate Project or through other various outlets. Today however I’m going to solicit this audience directly. If you are a reader of this blog and you are a dad then please go over to The DADvocate Project and take the Survey. If you are a reader of this blog and are not a dad then you most likely have a dad and or are married to a dad. Please ask them to take the survey.

The DADvocate Survey was put together last year as an effort to define who today’s dads are. In the media and press dads tend to get a bad rap and honestly Dads are not a lazy beer drinking group who sit on the couch and do nothing. Dads are also no longer the sole bread winners in the family and our societal role as men in families is changing. By the way our spending habits are changing as a result of the family dynamic change too.

The DADvocate survey looks how and where we dads are spending our time and in some cases money. Over 390 people have taken the survey thus far and I’m closing the survey in May. I hope to have close to 500 respondents by then but to make that happen I need your help. Please take the survey now or tell some friends. Heck post about it on facebook, twitter or linkedin. Thank you in advance.
