From Washington Post: Eric Yaverbaum, a New York PR executive whose wife is suffering from multiple sclerosis, is using his public relations acumen to start his own grass-roots campaign in support of stem cell research.
Yaverbaum is asking caretakers, patients and friends to send him their old shoes and notes (Jericho Communications, 304 Hudson St., Suite 700, New York, N.Y. 10013) for President Bush, urging him not to veto legislation supporting stem cell research. He’ll deliver the notes to the White House and donate the shoes to charity after making sure that they are seen.
“We can’t have a ‘Million-Caretaker Walk’ in Washington. We have to be home when we’re not working,” Yaverbaum said.
