There is no doubt that you are the right person for this job.
Wish you the best.
I would humbly remind you that your task is almost impossible if your ( our ) goal is to rally public support ( NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND ANOTHER'S PAIN ). But if anyone can do it, you can.
The average listener is very predisposed to thinking - " what's this guys problem?, I get headaches too but I don't need medication, etc....., what a wimp he must be". You can preempt this attitude by mentioning it and expressing understanding not anger or disappointment, and that if you didn't get these beasts, you would probably feel the same way.
