Definitely try to make it as interactive as possible.
Practice giving your speech to someone who knows NOTHING about your topic. When you know something really well you tend to use terminology etc and forget that everyone doesn't know it.
Good luck!!

The more personal it is, the more it affects the audience. And I hate public speaking too, but the better I know my subject (and the less I feel like the audience knows it) the better I do. So I agree w/ 33girl and say treat the audience like they don't know anything about the subject.
Pay attention to your speaking and slow yourself down if you start talking too fast.

You could open talking about your friend and what she liked to do. Talk about what a great person she was and then start tallking about her symptoms and her decline. Talk about her death and how it affected you and how it brought you to talk to them today. Explain what the disease is, how you get it, what can happen to you as a result and how you go about avoiding it.

This is great advice - speaking about it this way will keep the audience focused, and more people will come away with a message from your speech.
