In The Fight To Save Her Own Life, Andrea Sloan Still Helping Others

Andi Sloan's campaign for compassionate use of the drug BMN 673 has been gaining steam online but the company has yet to approve her request. If compassion alone were a cure, Andrea would not need BioMarin at all. When I first wrote about her Change.org petition it had nearly 7,000 signatures, now it has breached the 115,000 mark and has built a bipartisan coalition that includes Newt Gingritch and Wynonna Judd.

Sign her Petition here, and tweet to #BMN673 and @BioMarin.
