Letter writing campaign for Barb Farrell - VICTORY
Thanks Cece,
What a brilliant idea. I'll post tomorrow lots of letters from the UK and also email to the addresses provided.
I've put info about your appeal in myelitis.org. I've got Transverse Myelitis (a conditon similar to MS) and was treated for CCSVI recently. A few TM patients like me know about CCSVI and we are eager to hear the extent to which CCSVI might also be related to TM.
My symptoms have improved considerablysince my angioplasty and I know from own experience that CCSVI can make a real difference.

I'm in. Emails sent. I don't think I have ever mailed anything to Canada. Do I just use a US postage stamp, or how do you do that? Sorry, for the dumb question.
Cece thanks for getting this going and to all that contributed!

CRHInv, I believe it costs a bit more postage as it does here in Canada. I think you must put on $0.75 stamp to mail from US to Canada.CRHInv wrote:I'm in. Emails sent.

There is no cost to mail a letter to members of parliament (MPs) in Canada when mailing from within Canada.

Thanks Cece, I got there after a few hours of looking. I called Deb Mathews and left a message demanding that she call me back tomorrow with:
a) the date for Barb's procedure
b) who cancelled her first procedure.

Update from Patrick, Barb's husband:
>>> Breaking News<<<<
I have it on very good information the my wife’s treatment has been blocked by Janice Skot , the CEO of the Royal Victoria Hospital It is NOT MOH, the college of Physicians and Surgeons that are blocking it!
Write the Ms. Skot, the Board and demand that she be given this surgery under emergency compassionate grounds. Also remind them that RVH is fundraising and not providing care. That doesn’t bode well for future fundraising efforts.
Please do NOT harass or annoy the Staff at RVH they are great folks who are keeping Barbara well.
Send your email to: Janice Skot: skotj@rvh.com l also try: Suzanne Legue, Phone: 705-728-9090 Ext 41600, Email: legues@rvh.on.ca
thank you, pegmegrund!
I'll add these two names to the first page list and take off the Barrie MP and MPP that are said to be on Barb's side already. I just need to find a postal mail address in addition to the email address to put up there.
