If You Talk the Talk... Walk the Walk

When it comes to supporting stem cell and cancer research it's not enough to just talk the talk. You have to walk the walk. That's why I'm excited to let you know of an upcoming opportunity to do just that... literally.

I hope you'll join me on September 15th for the Union County Music Fest '07 Rock-On! Walkathon. The Love Hope Strength Foundation and New Jersey Citizens Coalition for Cures put together this special event to raise resources for the pursuit of cures and treatment.

Like all of you, I pray for a cure to cancer. That is why I support stem cell research.

In stem cell research we hold the hope of curing deadly and debilitating diseases. In the Assembly, I've pushed hard for laws making New Jersey a national leader through the construction of research facilities paid for with cigarette tax securitization bonds. I'm also calling for a ballot question this November to authorize $450 million in State bonds to provide grants to stem cell research institutions.

Not so long ago, the mere thought of treating diseases like polio and small pox was a dream of the future. Today, due to our society's commitment to discovering treatments these diseases are a thing of the past. I truly believe that stem cell research holds the keys to unlocking the cures for cancer, as well as spinal cord injuries, Alzheimer's, M.S., diabetes and a whole host of other debilitating diseases and chronic conditions.

Please sign up at my website to join me on September 15th. Together we can raise awareness for stem cell and research.

Walking the Walk (4.00 / 2)

It's good to see a politician putting into action their words. She is showing the independents and moderate Republicans the wide gap in reality, as a representative of the 7th district, between her and Ferguson, while giving Democrats someone for whom they can really rally around.

The lineup (0.00 / 0)

This whole thing seems like a LOT of fun. It's a great lineup, especially for something put on by a little county in Jersey. Bands you didn't mention: The Alarm, Apples In Stereo, and Fountains of Wayne, whose frontman is from Montclair and whose name is obviously Jersey-centric.
