A petition was begun to encourage Gilead to do the right thing.  Please sign it:

I have emailed this link to all my family and friends and posted it on FB.  Lets make ourselves heard!  Who knows...this might be the spark needed to start the fire!

Just wanted all to know that I have NOT given up :).  So I hope you won't either.

Keep sharing petition and garnering any kind of attention you can, and I will continue to do the same.  Hope everyone is doing well and have a great weekend!

Petition update:  4367 have signed

This has been a "banner" week for us.  Thanks to everyone who continues to get the word out there.  There is an article coming out this Saturday (hopefully) in the Express News, and one in the S.A. Business Journal slated to be published July 27th - the eve of World Hepatitis Day!  I will post them here when they do.  Also, someone brought the following to my attention today (can't believe I missed it..lol):

I encourage each of you to reach out to the press in your local areas and implore them to do a piece on this URGENT MATTER!  We need to put "public pressure" on these two companies if we are to succeed!

In the meanwhile, please continue to ask people to SIGN & SHARE (over & over) our petition at:

MeWithC, thanks for supporting this.  And, to anyone who doesn't wish to sign...for whatever reason... you are giving this "silent killer" more opportunity to continue growing and devastating more lives AND you are  allowing Gilead Sciences to withhold this treatment that in trials CURED 100% of GT 1s WITHOUT INTERFERON OR RIBAVIRIN!

Be silent no more - Sign it, share it, and share it again!  We did NOT ask for this disease, and we want the CURE and we want it NOW!

Petition Update: 3557 have signed.

Petition Update:  3495 have signed

I urge you all to sign and/or share this petition.  Tell everyone about the success of these two drugs,  GS-7977 + daclatasvir (100% cure rate in GT1 without interferon or ribavirin!!!) and ask them to sign and share it as well.
