Re: something positive

[Guest guest]

A couple of weeks ago, Oprah did a very moving tribute to Mattie on her show.

Travolta was also there to promote his new movie about the firemen (can't

remember the name right now. It's a Mito thing.) Travolta was in tears

after the tribute and the first thing that Cindy and I thought about after the

show was that perhaps if we could reach him, he might be interested in being a

celebrity who gets involved with the much needed cause of Mitochondrial

Disorder. Mattie's mom was on the show and she gave great detail about his last

weeks. They did mention that it was Mito and that she too had the disease.

I wonder if this was the show, Laurie.

I don't think so as we get Oprah during work hours. She said she didn't

remember what program and didn't mention taping it. I guess it is possible

that she has cable and it is on at another time. I didn't get to talk to her

for long as we were in the middle of a staff meeting.

I have thought that Maddie will have a lasting affect on spreading the word

about mito. I wish I had seen the show.
