Instead, I encourage you to read Furious Seasons’ take on it, the first blogger to break the story online (Philip is also in the middle of a fund-raiser, so consider putting a few bucks in). He’ll have continuing updates on the story. CL Psych also has his typical initial witty analysis, and Dr. Carlat has weighed in on the secret documents and sexual relationships involved. CL Psych has since published a more thorough analysis of what the documents show, research-wise. But what I found amusing (and enlightening) was yesterday’s entry on Furious Seasons about...

The 2008 Pan-Mass Challenge. What it is: The Pan-Massachusetts Challenge raises money for life-saving cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through an annual bike-a-thon that crosses the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Why I’m involved: This is Dr. Sam Blackman, and with him is Miss Rebecca Hopkins. We know Sam as Blog, MD. Rebecca knows Sam because he is her oncologist. Every year, Sam rides in the Pan-Mass Challenge to raise funds for pediatric oncology research. It’s a cause I have been honored to support since Sam first emailed me about it a few years ago. This year, Sam won’t be riding. He has a new location and a new job in cancer drug development. But Rebecca will be riding in his place, in memory of and fo...

Harrah’s Foundation was the primary sponsor of World Alzheimer’s Day (Sept. 21), offering a $1 million matching grant to assist in raising awareness and funds to fight Alzheimer’s disease. The Association’s World Alzheimer’s Day efforts raised $1.8 million, with the Harrah’s Foundation’s generous donation bringing the total to $2.8 million.

This will be his third attempt to reach the summit. But this time, the summit is not his only goal. He also aims to raise $100,000 for Alzheimer’s research. Why? Because like so many other people around the world, Alan has a personal connection with Alzheimer’s disease - his 81 year old mother has it. Alan writes on his site ‘I am finalising the details of how to raise the money and to make sure it is spent in the most efficient, effective, and honest manner possible. My goal is to identify a promising research project or Doctor and target the funding in a specific and measurable manner…’ You can read all about this new project at The Road back to Mt Everest and Memories are Everythi...
