Your help is needed.
« on: September 08, 2010, 08:25:52 AM »

How do I start this off? Do I just tell you to read below and donate some money to the cause? Do I tell you that donating is mandatory to post on JoeCanuck.com?

Of course not.

I'll simply ask you for a few moments of your time to read the information below, put yourself in place of the people mentioned and ask if you can donate at least $10.00 to help a personal friend of mine.
...and, I'll reward you for doing so, if that helps to twist your arm.  :wink:
- THE Mike.




Dear fellow Canucks,

My name is Michael Sciullintano-Viscoso, and I am requesting your attention for the next few minutes to read the information below.

On Wednesday, October 6th, 2010, a fund raiser dinner is being held in honour of Deanna Sciullintano-Viscoso, my wife, and the mother of our son, Dario. The purpose of this dinner is to raise funds in order to send Deanna to India.

Now you are probably asking yourself, why do I need to support this persons trip to India? Deanna suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. She has had this disease for nearly 21 years. Presently, she walks with the aid of a cane and can not walk a long distance rather relying on a wheelchair to be mobile.

Up until recently there is no known cure for this disease. There are drug treatments, but they only slow the progression not stop it.

Recently a new theory has been put forth. Preliminary studies have suggested that a phenomenon called Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI), a reported abnormality in blood drainage from the brain and spinal cord, may contribute to nervous system damage in MS. This hypothesis has been put forth by Dr. Paolo Zamboni from the University of Ferrara in Italy. The procedure done on the patients is called, The Liberation Treatment. Dr. Zambone tested his theory by unblocking the arteries in the neck thus allowing blood to flow freely to the brain. Dr. Zamboni was featured on W5 and has done many speaking engagements in Canada including a symposium here in Hamilton at St. Joseph Hospital. The results have been incredible!

The surgery is being offered in a India but it is not available in Canada or the United States. Furthermore, OHIP will not support anyone going overseas and having this surgery completed. So, all expenses are out of pocket ranging anywhere between 20 and 25 thousand dollars.

That’s where you come in. I will welcome any donation that can be made towards this fund raiser. The event is called, Liberation in India; Deanna’s Fight Against MS Fund-raiser. The goal is to raise as much as possible to allow Deanna to take advantage of this opportunity. If interested in attending, the event will be held at St. Naum Hall, at 1150 Stonechurch Rd. E, in Hamilton, ON.

If you are unable to attend, but would still like to help support Deanna, I am also accepting donations via PayPal at the link below. Any amount you are able to contribute is greatly appreciated.

I would like to thank you in advance for your support and donation to this cause. If you need to contact me for further information you may do so by asking for Mike at 905 928-5334 or via email at viscosom@yahoo.com.

Thank you once again.

I sent off a donation.  At least I know it won't be eaten by the MS Society, who I have grown a huge dislike ever since the W5 episode.  Only a few members here know about how MS came into my life last year.

I am praying this goes well.  I just want a cure to be found and I suspect Dr. Zamboni is on the right path, regardless of what some of the doctors, the feds and MS Society say in this country.  I am sick of the bullshit game they are playing.  Must be nice to be paid off from the pharmaceutical companies.

Timbits for all.  It is a good thing when geekdom unites to support a worthy cause.
