Wherever I go, and whenever I speak of the Hartman Foundation for Parkinson’s research, people ask me if the foundation is going to fund embryonic stem cell research. My answer is: emphatically no!
I believe that we will find the cure through a combination of prayer and science.
I was encouraged recently by a scientist who felt that a cure will come from the adult stem cells taken from our own bodies.
I believe that we are in a new frontier, and because of that we need to listen to science to know what we can do and we need to listen to the Church to learn what we ought to do.
For that reason, the Thomas Hartman Foundation for Parkinson’s Research will fund the best scientific projects with the best chance of finding a cure while also adhering to the Church’s teachings.
Scientist believe that when we find the cure for Parkinson’s we will also help to find the cure for Mental Retardation, Alzheimer’s, Lou Gehrig’s disease, Dystonia, Multiple Sclerosis and many other Neurological diseases.
We will do everything possible to find for a cure for Parkinson’s. If you can help us, we will deeply appreciate it. You can help us by praying, by being kind to someone who is ill, by volunteering at our long Island office (call us at 631-277-9655) and by donating to our events and our projects.
I sincerely believe that we will find a cure within ten years.
I ask you to join us in looking for a cure. Few projects will mean more to you then giving your time and effort towards this goal. |
