Yes Eve, we need to educate people on the need for more research.

wow..
I didn’t hear anything about this on T.V.
I hope Shirley can move this up in the spot light … if more people who are famous (for a lack of a better word) can get the media’s attention, then I believe the exposure to these illness’s would be paid more attention too, at all levels.

Yes. Charles Black was a utilities executive, I believe also a diplomat (as was Shirley), married a long time (50+ years, if I recall). Local obit stated a 3 year battle with MDS. This and Rep. Bob Matsui’s death early this year to MDS should get Northern California attention.
