Thank You Mr. President
Today President Barack Obama lifted the ban on federal funding of stem cell research. See article by AP writer Philip Elliot news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090309/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_stem_cells
This opens the possibility of greater opportunity for scientists in the medical community to find cures for such maladies as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, spinal chord injuries and a host of other health issues currently considered to be chronic conditions. It gives me the hope that one day I and people like me, or at least a younger generation, will not need to take potentially dangerous pills, like those pictured above in my hand, to keep our symptoms under control.
As a Parkinson’s sufferer myself and the son and grandson of Alzheimer’s sufferers I commend Mr. Obama for making this important and courageous decision which has the potential to benefit millions of people across the United States and throughout the world.
While I am aware that money is not an abundant commodity in these troubled economic times I would encourage all who have even a dollar or two to spare for a good cause to make a contribution no matter how great or how small to one of the following organizations or to another of your choice which is working toward the betterment of life for mankind.
The Parkinson Foundation of the Heartland
The Michael J. Fox Foundation on Parkinson’s Research
The Alzheimer’s Association
The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America
Thank you,
