There are leadership openings for those who are sincere. Thanks to all. Given the National focus and scope of our efforts, our name was changed from the Christina Lazar Foundation to the American Laryngeal Papilloma Foundation, a name that more accurately identifies us as a National organization rather than the local or regional group that the former name implies. The ALPF continues with its mission of promoting the health and welfare of those afflicted with Laryngeal Papillomatosis by providing assistance in the form of moral support, information and financial assistance to help defray some of the costs related to treatment, medication and transportation. There is clinical proof of the positive effects of this nutrient.
Studies are now under way to determine why.
Our major emphasis, now as in the past, is to promote public awareness of this dreaded disease to the medical profession, to self help groups, service organizations and the public in general. Public awareness is our single most important effort and consumes more than half of our financial resources. Statistics show that there are thousands of men, women and children who are afflicted. It is a growing population that could reach epidemic proportions if a cure is not found soon. That is why public awareness is so important.
