Hello bloggers! I know its been a while since the last update on my stem cell research adventures but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been keeping busy! Since my last posting I’ve held multiple events, including my Second & Third Annual “Bowling for Breakthroughs” at Lucky Strike Lanes in Miami Beach (April 2008, March 2009), my First Annual “Casino Night to Promote the Fight” (November 2008), and Happy Hours at the Shore Club (April & May 2009). I’ve talked at so many different functions, including the Stem Cell Conference last year at the University of Wisconsin in conjunction with the Genetics Policy Institute.

Regarding my foundation, I’m pleased to announce that Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Representative Dan Gelber and Florida State Representative Richard Steinberg just joined my Honorary Board! Joining my Science Advisory Board are Dr. Joshua Hare, Director of the Stem Cell Interdisciplinary Institute in Miami, and Dr. Camillo Ricordi from the Diabetes Research Institute in Miami. Joining my Advisory Board include Bernard Siegel from the Genetics Policy Institute, Alan T. Brown (PR guru and spinal cord injury advocate and fundraiser) and David Evensky (financial advisor).
