2010 will be a very big year in the world of thalassemia. The group led by Dr Michael Sadelain is about to begin the gene therapy trials in humans and this should commence by springtime. By the end of this year, we should have a good idea if gene therapy will provide the long awaited cure for thalassemia. I believe that this will succeed and that the only thing that has held it back is lack of funding. As long as my government makes financial decisions that places paying for drones to launch missiles over the heads of many of my friends, who also await this cure, we cannot hope that this same government will EVER give the same priority to saving human lives as it does to destroying them, so we must find funding elsewhere. Our friend, Pat Girondi has dedicated much of his life to helping to fund a cure for orphan diseases and especially for the thalassemia that has touched his own son. Pat donates all proceeds from the sale of his CDs to the Orphan's Dream Foundation to help fund these gene therapy trials. If you like music and want to make a small donation, and in turn get some fine music, please go to this website and buy one or more of Pat's CDs. You will be helping to fund this incredible work that will eventually provide a cure for thalassemia.
