News articles are popping up all across the country and overseas on the new
discovery by the team at Stanford University led by Chaitan Khosla,
Ph.D.  Dr. Khosla has formed the Celiac Sprue Research Foundation,, to
raise money to fund a lab and pay scientists to continue his work.  The lab
will open its doors on Jan. 2, 2003 and rent begins, payroll begins,
supplies are needed.  Dr. Khosla is relying on donations to fund the lab
and every dollar counts.  If the money runs out, the research stops.  He
truly believes he can find a pill, he has a plan, he has experience in
bringing drugs to market, he has a celiac wife and son and is very
motivated to have FDA approval of a pill by the time his son, who is now 5,
goes off to college.  Clinical trials of the current discovery will begin
in the next 2-3 years provided enough donations are received to continue
the work.
I am a volunteer who is helping to raise money and it is really, really
hard.  There is no big fat pot of money out there waiting to be sent to Dr.
Khosla and we have a very small pool of donors to ask.  We need donations
to come from each of you, $50 and $100 at a time.  All donations are tax
deductible. You can donate using a credit card on the foundation's website
www.celiacsprue.org  or by sending a check made payable to :  Celiac Sprue
Research Foundation, P.O. Box 61193, Palo Alto, CA 94306-1193.
Please give what you can.  Encourage your social club, church or school to
support this non-profit through bake sales, car washes, fundraising
dinners, donation drives.  Please call or e-mail me if you have any
questions.   Kelly Rohlfs, [log in to unmask], 650-725-4771
