A Message From Will Brink
As you may know, Dan Duchaine died
of complications related to
Poly Cystic Kidney disease January 12th, 2000. Many people have contacted me asking
if there was a place they could send flowers or donate money to charity.
So, I have set up a special fund with the National Kidney Foundation under
Dan's name. Those interested in donating money to this fund can send it to:
The Dan Duchaine Memorial Fund
c/o Steve Evangelista
National Kidney Foundation
129 Morgan Drive
Norwood, MA 02062
Steve is the CEO of
the National Kidney Foundation and can be reached at:
sevangelista@kidneymari.org
if you have any questions.
This money will be directed toward research for people who suffer from Poly
Cystic Kidney disease and I believe are tax deductible donations. I have
opened the fun with $250.00 of my own money. Please feel free to pass this
email around to others who are not on my mailing list but may be interested
in this info. If you have a web site, feel free to post this on your site
and/or send it out to people on your own mailing lists. I will be
contacting the magazines shortly with this info also.
In all honesty, Dan would have made fun of me for setting up such a fund
but I felt it was the best way to make sure he did not die in vain. I have
to think if there were better treatment options for Poly Cystic kidney
disease, the infamous guru would be with us today making trouble for years
to come...
