Hello there again baseball fans,
We want to extend an enormous THANK YOU to everyone that is making this
July 4th one of the most important days in the history of this
disease. MLB has made possible an
amazing event this weekend and all of the clubs have been remarkable in
involving ALS patients and their families through a variety of ways at the
parks this weekend. All of us in the lab
today believe that ALS can and will be stopped. The support provided through
this weekend's events will enable us to move faster in offering real options
for those living with Lou Gehrig's disease.
I am also writing today to share some very exciting news - we have
successfully reached our goal of 100 BBQ For ALS Awareness events which took
place when the 4ALS Awareness initiative culminated this July 4th. The events were spread out over 30 different
states in the United States
and Canada.
To learn more or see a Google map of where the events took place and to donate
in support of this effort to ALS research, visit www.als.net/mlb4als
During a live webcast this July 16th at 6:30PM, ALS TDI will
provide the latest information on
ALS TDI's research from the first half of 2009, introduce the new online Drug
Development Pipeline interface and preview planned studies and experimental
approach for the second half of the year.
Dr. John McCarty will join me
in answering your questions and in providing the latest information
on progress being made at ALS TDI. Dr. McCarty will also have a special report
on impressions from reports and presentations made during the International
Society for Stem Cell Research Conference taking place in Barcelona, Spain
this month. This event is offered free of charge and registration takes only a
moment via this link: http://www.als.net/ResearchUpdateCall
Sincerely,
Steve
