8 in 1,000,000

On New Year's Eve the crowd at Times Square was estimated to be one million people. As I looked out over this endless sea of revelers from our hotel window on the 32nd floor, it occured to me that Amyloidosis has an occurance rate of 8 people in a million, so just 8 of those tiny little specks of people below on the street may one day develop this monsterous disease. That visualization really hit home with me, and makes my efforts to use Lance's name and music connections to raise research dollars and awareness much more urgent. In the tiny amyloidosis commuinty (less than 3000 patients in the US), Lance's story may be one that breaks through and makes a difference. With the help of friends and fans, it will.
