Wow! I wished we lived closer.

Yeah, Ben could participate!  Does Duke ever send out info on research studies like this?

Hey Alice,

I haven't ever seen anything like this from Duke, but I'm sure that they would. We have participated in some other related studies, but to be honest, nothing that would be this directly 'beneficial'.

Hope this finds you well and happy my friend,

Hey Alice... It'll be cool to see the outcome of this study.  I wish they'd do one for us 6+ years out... lol!  Maybe I'd get my behind moving again!  UGH!!!

Have a great week!
