Americans for Cures Foundation (www.americansforcures.org)
announces Michael J. Fox as a featured speaker at State of Stem
Cell Advocacy 2008, this year’s
leading conference for grassroots advocates supporting stem cell research.
The conference will be held on April 12-13 at UCSF Mission Bay.
Americans for Cures Foundation welcomes new and experienced advocates of
all diseases and conditions to learn approaches that can further their
advocacy for the facts and promise of stem cell research.
The conference’s featured speaker is Michael
J. Fox, the actor and noted Parkinson’s
disease and stem cell research advocate. Mr. Fox joins other confirmed
speakers including Robert N. Klein, Chair, California Institute for
Regenerative Medicine (CIRM); Amy Comstock Rick, CEO, Parkinson's Action
Network and President, Coalition for Advancement of Medical Research;
and Bernard Siegel, founder and Executive Director of Genetics Policy
Institute.
“Our founding charter was to support the
implementation of Proposition 71,” said
Constance McKee and Amy Daly, Co-Executive Directors of Americans for
Cures Foundation (A4CF). “Now we are reaching
out nationally to Americans who are hungry for the facts, not the hype,
about stem cell science. If we speak out together for cures, we can
accelerate the pace at which hope becomes the reality of therapy.”
Don C. Reed, sponsor of the Roman Reed Spinal Cord Injury Act
(California, 1999) and a Board member of A4CF, said, “We
are honored to have Michael J. Fox participate in this conference. The
courage and determination with which he faces the challenges of living
with Parkinson’s disease are an inspiration to
millions.”
