Hey Max and Jason. Saw your piece on this on Current another one of my other favorite web spots. Thanks for the info. I hope that I will be able to help out in anyway I can. Trying to get to Haiti now. Wish me luck Bruvas
'To Write Love on Her Arms' need your help. More people need to open up their eyes to what other people are going through and share hope and help.
Hi guys. I'm Melinda and I'm an inventor that God used to invent the relationship game titled; "Pay Attention" and I'm giving it away free to the world at www.thegamepayattention.com
I'm also fundraising to come up with the funds to apply for nonprofit status. I wish to build Eve Marie Shelter for children. It will house 320 plus children. Too, I wish to help the homeless. Please check out my projects at www.thegamepayattention.com
and read the "about us" section :)
Be blessed and know you are.

NEVER ENOUGH DONORS- Type-1 Diabetes is caused by the destruction of patient pancreatic beta cells and loss of the regulation of blood glucose levels. Islet transplantation is able to restore glucose control, but human islets for this therapy are not readily available.
Instead, xenotransplantation using islets from pigs is a better option since they are abundant, and have been shown to work in diabetic monkeys. However, some people are afraid that viruses resident in the pig genome could jump into human cells, thus causing an unexpected disease.
We have a solution!! We have found a way to prevent viruses from jumping from pig to human cells. We propose to develop genetically improved pigs for use in xenotranspantation. Engineered pigs developed from this project will be provided to University of Minnesota clinicians as they move islet xenotransplantation to clinical trials.
We have started a campaign to raise the funds to support the creation of these pigs. Join us at "the point" to make a difference! http://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/safe-pigs-to-help-cure-diabetes
