Myelin Repair for MS info

[Guest guest]

Thank you for your interest in the Myelin Repair Foundation (MRF), a

non-profit research foundation exclusively committed to discovering myelin

repair treatments for patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Our neuroscientists continue to hold their belief that a coordinated effort

focused on developing treatments could lead - within five years - to drug

targets that would allow remyelination (myelin repair) in MS patients,

greatly improving their quality of life until a cure can be found.

Since there are no effective treatments for MS today, time is of the

essence! In February, we received a major donation of $1 million from

Cook, co-founder of Intuit. This June, all five Principal Investigators,

and twenty-two other scientists from their labs, met in Chicago for the

Research Kick-Off meeting to discuss their current and future

accomplishments toward the MRF goal. We are very appreciative of Mr. Cook's

generous gift that has allowed us to begin our five-year journey toward a

myelin repair treatment for MS. Our goal is to raise another $4 million

this year and $20 million more over the next two years.

Here is how you can help:

* Please forward this information to at least 10 of your friends and

colleagues who you think may be interested in Multiple Sclerosis and

encourage them to visit the website at www.myelinrepair.org.

* Help us identify potential sources of financial support. Current donors

include people interested in innovative ways to treat MS and/or accelerating

medical research.

By helping us connect with people interested in supporting the Myelin Repair

Foundation, you can make a direct contribution to repairing the lives of

millions with MS.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Again, thank you for

your interest.

Sincerely,

Katrina Archibald
