Hi Guys!
Thought you would like to know about the following media events:
First:
Thought you all might like to tune in!
BREAKING NEWS
We invite you to watch the CBS broadcast of 60 Minutes entitled "21st Century Snake Oil", at 7 PM EDT (6 PM CDT) on Sunday, April 18. It is an expose of unproven stem cell therapies. ALS WORLDWIDE is proud to have assisted 60 Minutes in bringing this important information to the forefront of public awareness. More than four months ago, ALS WORLDWIDE was contacted by producers from the acclaimed CBS news program 60 Minutes to assist them in an undercover assignment. During this time, we have tracked and helped organize the comings and goings of patients, fraudulent doctors, clinics and middlemen to provide 60 Minutes with information necessary to help them complete this startling documentary.
As you may know, Stephen Byer has been very active for over eight years in the delineation between quality, state of the art stem cell therapeutic approaches for the treatment of ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases vs. the questionable, unproven and frequently dangerous subset of marketers who prey upon the unsuspecting and vulnerable patient community. Steve has frequently addressed both scientific and patient audiences on this subject. ALSWW is currently writing and publishing "The Patient Guide to Stem Cell Therapies, 2010-11 Edition" planned for distribution at the World Stem Cell Summit in Detroit October 4-6, 2010.

Watch the Williams Family on
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"
Sunday, May 16, on ABC
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" built a new house for high school football coach Jeremy Williams and his family. Williams is the coach who led Greenville High to the second round of the state playoffs while battling ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease.
This exicting episode will air on Sunday, May 16, on ABC. Please check your local listing for show times and visit Watch Full Episodes Online - Extreme Makeover: Home Edition - ABC.com for more information on the show.
The ALS Association of Georgia was there for the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition 'reveal' and watched as the Williams Family saw their home for the first time. Please click here to visit the ALS Association of Georgia's FaceBook page and see photographs from this emotional day.
It is always good when ALS makes its way to national TV! Thought I would give everyone a heads up so we can check it out!
Hugs, Kari
