The 9th Annual Accelerated Cure Project Benefit Concert

About The Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to curing MS by determining its causes. Focused primarily on accelerating the pace of MS breakthroughs, the Accelerated Cure Project seeks to remove obstacles to investigating the causes of MS, and encourages collaboration between research organizations and clinicians. It has developed a “Cure Map,” a systematic plan of research into the causes of MS, and has implemented a multi-disciplinary Blood, Tissue and Data Bank to accelerate the search for environmental and genetic factors in MS. Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, is a chronic demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system affecting over 400,000 people in the US and 2 million worldwide. MS commonly results in severe disability: debilitating fatigue, loss of bladder and bowel control, the inability to walk, impaired vision or blindness, cognitive dysfunction, and other unpredictable impairments. No one knows what causes Multiple Sclerosis, there is no known cure, and treatments are modest at best. For more information about the Accelerated Cure Project or to make a corporate or individual contribution, call 781/487-0008, or visit www.acceleratedcure.org. Accelerated Cure Project provides many MS resources and materials on their web site at no charge. For example:

- MS News - Book Reviews - Email Announcements - Clinical Trials - Interviews with MS researchers - Multiple Sclerosis Primer

- MS Quickstart Guide - 7 Habits For Regaining Power in the Workplace With Chronic Illness

Our concert this year ~~~

This year's concert preparations have made it through ill health and bad weather. We apologize, for instance, to any audience members who came hoping to hear two pieces from Lakme: Both singers involved were downed by the nasty virus that decimated our roster. We're grateful to the singers who made it through - including the one who came back from bronchial pneumonia, and all who accepted program changes up to the very last minute. Please follow translations and program notes on our separate sheets . Enjoy the program!

Marion Leeds Carroll, concert organizer

All concerts are Sunday at 3:00 p.m., with pre-subscription-concert talks* at 2:15 p.m.with Leslie M. Holmes, WSO President, unless otherwise noted.
