I am posting for Mark Lane:

Mark Lane is requesting that all those Canadians who have had angio/venoplasty as treatment for CCSVI or MS to send a 1 page testimony of your experiences pre and post op to mark@marklane.ca. Please include your name and contact information. This anecdotal evidence ...will be presented first hand to the Health Ministers at their upcoming meetings on the 13 Sept in Newfoundland and Labrador. I currently have 80+ personal testimonials and we can do better! C'mon Canada!

garyak,
I only realized it was posted after the fact :/ It's ok, it's a reminder. I think Mike had some 75 sent to him and we know there are more than 75 of us who have been treated in Canada.
take care

How is Mark going to present these testimonials, in peron or via a third party ? Also is there a risk that this attempt will be in vain where these submissions won't be accepted?

There was a news piece here in NL that he has already meet with the NL Minister of Health (Jerome Kennedy). Presumably he is going to present him with the materials.

garyak,
I don't know how Mark is submitting these. The message that's being passed around does say 'first hand' so I can only assume directly from him.

We won't know if they're accepted or not or even if they are read once they are accepted but we won't know unless we try. It would be hard to turn down a stack of evidence in front of others though. :)
