Tyler’s Hope, a charity founded by Rick Stabb (CEO of InterMed) to fund research into Dystonia, received a MAJOR boost when CNN ran a story about it last week. Dystonia is a neurological condition affecting two of Rick’s children. His story was the 3rd most emailed piece on CNN that day. Tyler’s Hope’s server crashed from the volume of traffic (but was soon put to right). All donations to Tyler’s Hope go to research. See this great story.
