Breast cancer vaccine researcher Vincent Tuohy gets $1 million gift for endowed chair at Cleveland Clinic

Hello family & friends, 

Our hard work is paying off!  A philanthropist couple; 
Mr. & Mrs. Mort November just donated 1 million dollars in an endowment fund on behalf of Dr. Vincent Tuohy’s vaccine to eradicate breast cancer.  We’ve already raised about $800K between 5-6 organizations.  We needed 1.8M to make the vaccine and we're still in need of another million to initiate Phase 1 (the injection into 17-20 women).  If Phase 1 is successful, we move onto Phase 2 (50-100 patients), Phase 3 (up to 3000 patients), and finally FDA approval

An awards ceremony was held this evening at the Cleveland Clinic in honor of Dr. Tuohy and the recognition of his new title "Mort and Iris November Distinguished Chair in Innovative Breast Cancer Research. I had the great honor and privilege of meeting Mr. & Mrs. November and I thanked them (from all of us) for supporting Dr. Tuohy's science and for giving us hope that our children will never face the words "you have breast cancer"! 

As a person living with an incurable form of breast cancer (NED), No Evidence of Disease…..……I have tears flowing down my face.  We’re on our way!
