Finally - a Vaccine Trial for me!

[Lauriesh]

Hi Debbie, as I mentioned earlier, I am also doing this trial, so I will be flying to Seattle four times.
I have found quite a bit of help with travel and lodging. Most is through the Amer. Cancer society. They provide one flight a calendar year, so 2 of my 4 flights will be free. They will also try to arrange free lodging. It is not guaranteed, as it depends on the city and time of year. but, if it is available, I can get free lodging all four trips. If I can't get lodging through them, there is an organization called Joe's house where you can get discounted hotels.
It didn't take too many phone calls/paperwork to get this help. After my first phone call to ACS, they e-mailed all of the possible resources, such as Angel Flights, Joe's house, etc. I hope no one decides against a trial because of expense, because there is a lot of help out there.
