I could REALLY use your help...thanks

[Guest guest]

Hey, do you guys remember when, I think it was Cabbie (he’s always on the

ball), told us about the Myelin Repair Foundation? Well, I signed up to

help volunteer, and because I live crazy close to their office, they

enlisted my help. But, of course, there’s a catch. I need to enlist as

many MS’ers as possible for THEIR help (meaning you).

I’m sure you’re already aware of their deal, hoping to start trials within

five years to actually make us better, not only halt our progression. Ah,

to dance again… Anyway, the paragraphs below outline what is needed, which

is basically money to start the research up. So, if possible, please

forward some or all of this post to as many people, chat groups, and

websites as possible so we can start the grassroots movement to get this

running full force! Thanks, Katrina P.S. Sign up to volunteer and we

can all work together - it will be fun! (seriously!)

" Have you heard of the Myelin Repair Foundation? They've just launched a

campaign to raise $25 Million to fund a collaborative research effort aimed

at discovering palliative treatment targets for MS within 5 years! Top

myelin researchers from Stanford, Northwestern, University of Chicago,

McGill, and Case Western have already signed on. The legal, business and IT

infrastructure to support the collaboration, and move discoveries rapidly

into commercial development are also in place.

The foundation needs to raise the first $1million before research begins.

That's where we come in. Tell everyone you know who might be interested in

making a donation to get in touch with the Myelin Repair Foundation. Small

donations can be made directly on the foundation's website. People

interested in making larger donations should contact the foundation

directly, as they have set up a program for individuals, or other

foundations, who want to take a sponsorship role.

Myelin repair is one of the most promising concepts yet for developing real

treatments for people living with MS, and the Myelin Repair Foundation is

the real deal for managing a project of this scope. Information about the

research plan and the people involved is available on their website,

www.myelinrepair.org. Check it out, then let's help them get to that first

million! "

Hi Katrina,

Thanks so much for this info. Do you or anyone else remember the

Myelin Project " started by Augusto Adami, for his son.....there was

a movie about it some years back?

I think that project is still active, and low on money. I wonder

why they would start another similar study, when there is already

one going on?

These studies cost so much, I wonder why they don't pool their

resorces, and work together on this?

Just a thought....Love, Sally
