Starting a cranio charity

[averysmom]

Have any of you started a cranio charity in light of your child's diagnosis? I have always wanted to start a charity, but never knew what it should be for. Since my daughter's diagnosis, I have no doubt in my mind that this is the type of charity I was meant to start.
Has anyone started there own? I have no idea how to start one....looking for any thoughts/ideas/resources.

I'm thinking you would need to host some kind of event or something that people can connect with. Like others have done walks, or biking or something with activities for kids. solely to raise money from others and themselves and show up at the event. You'd have to have a well thought out plan of what to do with money, and advertise that. the money could be used for sending care packages to families that are going through the surgery and recovery. or costs that are involved after ins. is "done" with covering whatever they will cover. stuff like that, you could send some money to this site even, they have a donation space for it. The event may start out small but with word of mouth, calling around to certain places sending advertisements about it, it'll grow in time. Start small and be educational sharing your testimony about it. Invite churches to the event as well.

These are just a few ideas. I don't know if this helps, but I figured I'd get your brain going. :)
