What's Your Story?
Dear Friends,

Throughout history, storytelling has been a prominent mechanism of communicating information across cultures. Increasingly, storytelling is used to communicate messages related to health and even more recently to convey the importance of clinical trial participation. Whether the story is from a patient or a professional who is contributing to the advancement of medicine, the expression of their journey and experience has the power to change perceptions, hearts and minds about clinical trial participation. For this reason, we have made it our mission to amplify the stories of those who have been impacted by clinical research through our website.

We encourage you to visit our website to read the stories of patients and professionals who have shared the impact of research on their lives.

If you have a burning story inside of you that you can't wait to get out, we welcome the opportunity for you to share it with us.

"Inside each of us is an natural born storyteller waiting to be released." - Robin Moore

Sincerely,
Amanda Wright, Executive Director

Greater Gift News
Welcome our newest partner, Neuro-Behavioral Clinical Research!
"We are excited to announce our recent partnership with Greater Gift will allow us to thank our incredible volunteers by gifting a vaccine to a child in need in their honor. We want to show our sincere appreciation to all our volunteers that give the gift of clinical trial participation. The greatest gift is one that is given anonymously, and this is the gift given by taking part in clinical research. This gift is a brave and selfless act. Through this partnership with Greater Gift we can advance global health and highlight the greater good of clinical trial participation. We are thrilled to launch an initiative which will allow us to give back, share our love, and raise clinical trial importance and awareness. We appreciate our volunteers. Thank you for all you do!"
