You just need people going in period.

I don't know about the OTB's in Chi town, but I don't think you would do so well with your campaign in some of the NYC OTB's. There are some heartless SOB's playin at those places.
I would think that your best chance at raising some dough would be at Arlington. I know every year at Monmouth they have a weekend (I think July 4th) for the Don MacBeth fund and they sell all kinds of cool racing items for the fund. Plus the jocks are always good about signing the things.

Damn, I missed that. Yeah, I'll question Northwestern, I live here and had surgery there (20 years ago) by the Blackhawks ortho guy (and my knee hurts now). I never said they didn't have great facilities, they have LOTS of money, but surgeons in the "surrounding area", like at Rush or the University of Chicago, would be the first choice of most knowlegeable people that live in Chicago if they were facing permanent paralyzation.
However, I'm very glad to read this report while still a little concerned about the ventilator issue.
Oh, and if they do this Belmont day and match my losers Rene will be OK.
Just went back to my previous link to see if maybe I missed something and this was on the home page:

Rush maybe my choice if I needed a by-pass, Univ. of Chicago if I was pregnant with complications or had cancer but none is better than Northwestern in regards to the brain and spine. All you need to know is when CPD officer Jim Mullen was shot in the face on duty it was NW who performed surgery and therapy. He could have been brought anywhere.

You'll also find that wealthy patients choose quality of care over comfort when sick or injured. A comfortable place for them to go and die is home whether it be primary or a vacaton home. If comfort was the first priority, Lake Forest Hospital would be tops in the nation.

And he is alive and doing newscasts from his iron lung last I saw. I'm not going to argue the point any longer. I hope Douglas walks again.

SoCal does the same thing for the MacBeth fund... know of some friends that have been there the last few years out there.
