SWUA Branch 99
member Barbara Krampac has organized a fundraiser
to raise $3 to 5 million dollars to conduct a
human clinical trial in 2011. The Clinical
trial is for Giant Asonal Neuropath (GAN) which is
a rare terminal disorder that progressively kills
every nerve cell in the body, first impacting
walking. It eventually renders its victims
quadriplegics, with feeding tubes and ventilators
to assist with breathing. If you would like
