I got a note from our friends at
CURE that they will be hosting their
1st annual fundraiser in NYC on May 13th at the Yale Club:
Quote :
|
We will be honoring David Axelrod – chief strategist to senator Obama – and George Stephanopoulos will also be a guest speaker. The event is being hosted by PARADE magazine. ... All proceeds will go to epilepsy research.

David Axelrod's daughter
Lauren was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 7 months. David's wife Susan started CURE 10 years ago.
You might recall a while back
Susan was on the Today Show talking about epilepsy. Randy Siegel, CURE Treasurer and president and publisher of PARADE magazine, also wrote a nice story that was published in August last year in
Newsweek:
More Than Hugs. CURE has also
sponsored numerous research studies.
