The Therapeutic Benefits of Knitting/Crochet – any stories to tell?

Help needed please! I want to collect a very large amount of anecdotal evidence about the therapeutic benefits of knitting, crochet and cross stitching and have the opportunity to present this to a group of doctors and researchers.

Normally they wouldn't take any notice of anecdotal evidence, but I've been advised that, if I collect a very large volume (thousands, preferably tens of thousands of stories) and document this properly, it will be difficult to ignore. So I need the help of as many knitters and stitchers as I can muster to make the most of this unique opportunity. To make it easier I've put a form on the Stitchlinks website.

This is a wonderful opportunity to get our voices heard by some of the leading people in a number of medical fields. Please help if you can. Thank you
