What is Cure4Dad?

When I'm lost, I am the last person to ask for directions. When I was learning to ride my bike, I wouldn’t let anyone push me. I like to do things on my own. This is different. My dad likes the Beatles, funny YouTube videos, fantasy football and terribly corny jokes. He is a great father and a loving husband. Unfortunately, he can no longer run, hike, golf, play basketball or do many of the fun family activities he could when I was young. In fact, he is barely able to walk. Stephen Reynolds, my dad, has multiple sclerosis. Recently, advancements in adult stem cell research have led to a treatment that has helped many people suffering with multiple sclerosis. A facility in Costa Rica (see Insitute for Cellular Medicine) is offering these treatments. This particular procedure will cost $20,000 and is not covered by medical insurance. Information from a recent patient, Holly, can be found on Holly's Web Site.

My dad has always known stem cells would lead to an improvement in his way of life. We’re so excited and are scheduled to travel to Costa Rica for treatments July 11, through July 25, 2009. For information directly from Dad, visit his blog.

Thanks!

Sincerely, Alyssa Reynolds
