Hi all,

I don't remember if I told you, my girlfriend Olga is an early mid-lifer who went back to college for her degree. She is studying Chemical Biology at Steven University here in NJ. She will be graduating with her BS in May and is hoping to work in the pharmaceutical industry (R&D, as she hopes to cure the world).

For her physiology class, she had to research and present on a significant health issue. Given all that I am going through, she has decided to present MM to her class. So, tomorrow evening, approximately 30 students and professors are going to hear all about MM. Just think, 30+ students who may go on to work in the pharmaceutical industry or become doctors are going to get a short education on MM.

Given that almost no one has heard of MM, I am extremely greatful that she picked this as her topic. Think about it, tomorrow evening there will be 30 new people who are aware of MM, not because they or friend/family member where diagnosised with MM, but because the were getting an education.

As an aside, her professor had never heard of MM.

I'm so proud of her.
Greg

Greg,

That's AWESOME that Olga chose MM as her topic!   Good for her, and please extend my heartfelt thanks.  My motto has always been "one person at a time".  It may be slower than we'd like, but WE WILL change things!

Thanks for sharing, and my best to Olga during her presentation!

;Great news Greg,  Tell Olga we all love her

But lets face it   Didn't we all know that if a cure or treatment for moyamoya were to be found  it would come from New Jersey!

Stay well Tom G.

Call me greg!

Thank you Greg and Olga

Small Steps, Big Strides

It's great to have 30 medical/pharmaceutical folks as a captured audience to spread the word about moyamoya.

Big Thank You and Big Hug for Olga
