Upheld in court. Now to gather the signatures...

Thu Jan 19, 2006, 7:39 PM

"The reason others think they need you, Sihn Starr, is because they don't yet fully believe that they already have all that it takes to have all that they want. So they pretend you hold the key.

And vice versa.

Mo. Judge Upholds Stem Cell Ballot Measure - Read it. This is good news.

Let's go to work.

The Missouri Coalition for Lifesaving Cures

Go there and find out how you can help Alex.

For those of you that do not know, Alex has Duchenne's variety Muscular Dystropy. Stem cell research studies have already shown that they can reverse and cure DMD in laboratory animals.

The judge upholding the wording that is in the ballot initiative has me full of energy. i will be out collecting signatures with pictures of Alex plastered to my body. i am going to tell our story to whomever will listen. Hopefully, putting a human face on the benefits of stem cell research will motivate people to listen, consider and then, ultimately sign the petition.

If you live in Missouri, Illinois, Kansas City or anywhere close the the Missouri border, i ask humbly for you to volunteer and help gather the signatures. You can call 1-800-891-0631 and become a paid signature gatherer for the petition. If you'd prefer to be an unpaid volunteer, call 800-829-4133.

I live in Pennsylvania, so I'm not able to help in this way, but there is something I can do, and I will, my friend. In my journal I'm placing a link to your journal, and asking people to read what you have to say here. I know it's not much, but since I don't live in your area, I can't do more, though I do wish I could.

Thank you so much and Alex thanks you too. The power of links should not be underestimated. You are very kind and, if there is ever a need that i can help you with, do not hesitate to ask and i will not hesitate to return your favor.

I don't know very much about this peticular form of MS., but I know you Love your son. That's enough for me my friend. You have no idea just how much you, and others like you have helped me in the short time I've been here. It's the least I can do for my DA. family.

I'm glad to hear that there has been progress in treating this form of MS! I'm in KY, but if I can help, just message me.

That's wonderful... Since I'm all the way up here in Maine and can't really do much to help....

Alex is a beautiful child, Sihn. I wish you all the luck in the world with this.

If you do want to know about DMD, there is a link in my journal to the Muscular Dystrophy Association website page that tells all about it.

It is too bad that we do not live in the same geophysical area. i am sure that we would be best mates.

There has been a ton of progress in treating DMD. If you you follow the link in my journal to the MDA-USA.org website, you can read lots and lots of news articles about it.

The only thing i would ask of you is to investigate your own state's laws concerning stem cell research. And if there is a group like The Coalition For Lifesaving Cures in your state, join up and get Kentucky to pass similar laws. If all of the United States were working on this, we would have a answer sooner as opposed to later.

You can do a ton to help and you already have done a lot. By just thinking of us and wishing us luck sends positive energy our way. That energy can move mountains, even if you do not know it or see it. Second, check in your own state for groups like The Coalition For Lifesaving Cures. If there is one, join it and get laws passed that are similar to the ones we want to pass in Missouri. Many hands make for light work and if all the States were researching at the same time, the problem would be solved.
