Americans for Cures Foundation Announces Conference for Stem Cell Advocates

Stem cell research advocates nationwide will gather at the State of Stem Cell Advocacy 2008 (SOSCA) conference on April 12-13, 2008.  The conference is being presented by Americans for Cures Foundation (A4CF) at San Francisco's UCSF Mission Bay Conference Center.  Americans for Cures Foundation welcomes new and experienced advocates of all diseases and conditions to learn approaches that can further their advocacy for the facts and promise of stem cell research.

Michael J. Fox, the actor and noted Parkinson's disease and stem cell research advocate, joins other confirmed speakers including Robert N. Klein, Chair, California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM); Brock Reeve, Director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute and brother of Christopher Reeve; Amy Comstock Rick, CEO, Parkinson's Action Network and President, Coalition for Advancement of Medical Research; and Bernard Siegel, founder and Executive Director of Genetics Policy Institute.  Click here to see the full list of confirmed speakers.

"Our founding charter was to support the implementation of Proposition 71," said Amy Daly, Co-Executive Director of Americans for Cures Foundation (A4CF).  "Now we are reaching out nationally to Americans who are hungry for the facts, not the hype, about stem cell science.  If we speak out together for cures, we can accelerate the pace at which hope becomes the reality of therapy."
