Ellie...

I thought about doing the SAME thing!!!! She has an amazing heart and I sure hope her producers give her an opportunity to read your email and help us out!

Think I'll send one too -- maybe if a lot of us do it -- the awareness will be there and she'll run with it!!

don't forget Dr Phil...he sometimes jumps on issues before Oprah does...or better yet, send an email to Robin, his wife
