SUCCESS!
THAT IS THE VERY BEST WORD TO
DESCRIBE WHAT WAS
THE PETER EARLEY MS BENEFIT!
Friends, family and acquaintances from all across the country packed The Italian American Banquet & Conference
Center in Livonia on September 25, 2008 in support of Peter; and support they did in a HUGE way!
The
event was everything it was billed to be, and much, much more!
Both the SILENT and LIVE AUCTIONS
went off without a hitch, raising funds that will help Peter achieve treatments not too far down the road.
We
are keeping this website up and running and will provide you with updates as to the amount of funds received and "what's
next" in Peter's journey; so don't think that just because THE BENEFIT is over we're
planning on slowing down our efforts in the least!
And we hope your generous donations will continue to pour in as well.
As
long as you are able to access this website, you will be able to contribute. All donations will continue to be routed
through the National Transplant Assistance Fund directly from this site.
We would be terribly remiss if we did not take this time to thank everyone that attended or contributed to THE BENEFIT in any way. YOU are the reason the night was such a splendid occasion!
Please keep your eyes open for two
new tabs to the left. The SPECIAL THANKS page and UPDATES
page will soon be added to provide you with all the information available with regard to...PETER'S
PROGRESS!
AND...coming real soon...video taken at THE BENEFIT will be up on the site, for the sake of reminiscing, and for those that were not fortunate enough to be able to
attend in-person. So, by all means, keep your eyes open for that exciting addition as well. We'll probably
dedicate a tab titled THE BENEFIT VIDEO for that purpose.

Mark Your Calendars,Everybody!
Thursday,
September 25, 2008
That's the evening set aside to benefit our friend and
yours...Peter Earley.
The PLAN
is to raise enough money through SILENT and LIVE AUCTIONS as well as DONATIONS from a myriad of sources, so
that Peter is afforded the opportunity to undergo "FULL TERM" babies' umbilical stem cell therapy
outside of the United States; and fund any additional medical treatment to help slow down the progression of his MS.
Through this website we will share with you the life and times of Peter Earley, as well as include you in our
efforts to help extend his life and the quality of which he is able to enjoy it. Hopefully, along the way
you will gain a much deeper awareness of this disease.
Make no mistake, there is NO CURE for Multiple
Sclerosis, however, through extensive research and countless applications...headway is definitely being made.
The ethical nature of the procedure (which will be explored in depth via one of the links) is not in question.
Regrettably, the unavailability for those residing here in the United States is the crux of the problem. At least
presently.
Numerous productive links will be strewn throughout which will give you instant access to the most important
research and governing institutions as well as facts and figures regarding MS to contemplate.
Since the date is
rapidly approaching, we are feverishly working to provide you with all the details you'll need to get involved in the
event, make your donation, or simply learn more to help you help a friend or loved one that is battling this disease.
Be sure to have a look at each one of the tabs to the left, and, by all means, do not hesitate to email us with questions
or comments that you think might be valuable to this wonderful and worthwhile cause.
Thank you so much for the
passion and concern you clearly hold in your heart for mankind.
With warmest wishes,
The entire staff
associated with the Peter Earley MS Benefit; particularly Peter himself (pictured below).
