  So, what's your cause?

  Hey Tucker, I think your initiative is really a great idea. I am surpised such a Marrow Bank does not exists yet. So: you are into great work already with your young age. Excellent going ! I will try answer qour question later-> I.e. what is my Cause.
  I would like to tell you but things are still evolving. Basicly I photograph China and try to digitally preserve things for history. I am going to try show you my Trip along the Great Wall of China (+ some other Places) and twit + videostream it live, so YOU and family can follow it for Fun. I am not sure if thats a great cause... but I know yours is. My compliments to Tucker + Brother.

  NEVER ENOUGH DONORS- Type-1 Diabetes is caused by the destruction of patient pancreatic beta cells and loss of the regulation of blood glucose levels. Islet transplantation is able to restore glucose control, but human islets for this therapy are not readily available.

  Instead, xenotransplantation using islets from pigs is a better option since they are abundant, and have been shown to work in diabetic monkeys. However, some people are afraid that viruses resident in the pig genome could jump into human cells, thus causing an unexpected disease.

  We have a solution!! We have found a way to prevent viruses from jumping from pig to human cells. We propose to develop genetically improved pigs for use in xenotranspantation. Engineered pigs developed from this project will be provided to University of Minnesota clinicians as they move islet xenotransplantation to clinical trials.

  We have started a campaign to raise the funds to support the creation of these pigs. Join us at "the point" to make a difference! http://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/safe-pigs-to-help-cure-diabetes

  Hey Tucker! I loved the interview you did today for the documentary "Better Red than Dead". It really is horrible how some people call redheads names like ginger or carrot hair! i think you had a great idea to start a SAVE THE REDHEADS club, count me in! I really liked what you said about how people should not judge others by how they look, and that it is what's on the inside that counts. A lot of people need to learn that lesson and i hope you can help them! You're awesome!
