Huntington’s Disease and College Marketing Unusual Pair

March 21, 2007 - PRLog -- March 22, 2007 – Michelle D., a 33-year-old school counselor, has been caring for her son’s father, Ray, who has Huntington’s Disease, for several years.  Up until recently, Ray was able to stay home alone while Michelle worked.  As a result of recent psychiatric problems, a side effect of medications to help the movement disorder associated with HD, he has needed someone to be with him at all times.   Fortunately, Michelle’s mother has been able to care for him during this time while Michelle was at work, but talk of nursing homes and around the clock supervision has driven her to find a way to stay home and care for Ray.

TheCollegeMillion.com webpage takes the original pixel advertising concept and directs it toward the college industry.  Colleges, universities, educational lending institutions, as well as scholarship websites can buy 10 x 10 pixel banner ads for $100 or $1 per pixel.  The website combines her passion for helping students with the college admissions process and her need to secure enough income to be able to care for her ailing loved one.  The site also provides a link to the Huntington’s Disease Society of America, which funds research directed at finding a cure for HD.  Advertisers and consumers, alike, have an opportunity to find out more information about HD.

“I’m confident that this new marketing arena for higher educational institutions and services will take off,” says Michelle D., the creator of The College Million website.  “It establishes a site where students, parents and secondary educators can have easy access to a wide variety of college-related resources and information.”
