Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Dear All, The Road to ville is picking up speed ! Just wait until you see us now ! Go to www.pscpartners.org or click on the link below. You will be very surprised on how far we have traveled since you last checked. http://www.pscpartners.org/RtJ.htm This is a group effort and everyone's mile counts. If every member here gave just one mile or $50 once a year, we would have over $50,000 every year for a research grant. This is our time, our efforts will bring a change for PSC treatment. The medical researchers are hearing our cry for help. We are having a couple of the brightest stars in PSC at our May conference where they will meet some of the best people anywhere who happen to have PSC. They will care about the people they meet and they will want to help us. We may be a small group of rare people but we will clamor for the attention we need and deserve every year until we have a treatment that works !!! I am so proud of all our contributers for being a part of this great effort. Lee For those who want to join us on the Road, I have reprinted the email I sent with the letters that are being used. [see below] Once again, I will send out a letter on anyone's behalf, you just need to email me. I know when my son was diagnosed, many asked how they could help. This is how. All my friends and family that asked that question got a letter from me and they know now that I will be mailing them a letter once a year until we have a treatment that works and the feedback that I have received is that they are more than happy and genuinely glad to have a way to help. This was interesting to me that while I didn't want to impose on anyone, that I am hearing back from most that they have been waiting for a way to help. Something to think about. > > Dear All, > Thank you to everyone who is joining us on the Road to > ville.
