**********************
By now many of you have heard that our next PSC Partners Seeking a Cure conference will be held in Chicago, IL. Many members from our support group were at the conference in Jacksonville, FL. Everyone there was excited to learn that research is on the brink of some real breakthroughs. The experts let us know that now is the time to raise enough money to back the most promising research and also to get the attention of the new, young researchers eager to use the new information that is emerging.
We are making real progress at getting people to hear us and as we work to help ourselves, others will come to our aid. We encourage everyone to join us in this effort where we are the ones with the most to gain. It is ourselves, our loved ones and the newly diagnosed to come who might have a better treatment and avoid a liver transplant if we back medical research. It is those who have been transplanted who might avoid a second transplant if we can prevent recurrence of PSC with better treatments.
For those who are struggling with the next dollar, those of us who can, will raise in your honor. Everyone who raises $100 from family and friends can buy a mile!! As the year goes on we can all share our ideas on raising money from letter writing campaigns to honoring our family and friends with birthday and holiday donations. From saving our pocket change to movie night [Thanks Jeff and Reggie]. Be creative; be positive, we can do it because we are together in the search for a better treatment, whatever it takes. Let's get started!
