21-yr old Morgan Rioux of Zachary, LA has taken the initiative to write a letter to Governor Bobby Jindal asking for his support of research and awareness for Mitochondrial Disease. This is a copy of the letter his office wrote back to her:
The letter states that he has updated the Genetics Program website to include the mito link she sent and they added other links for the disorder. They also offer subspecialty clinics in 9 regions of the state for those in need of neurology that meet income guidelines. Their website is http://www.dhh.louisiana.gov/offices/?ID=256
Morgan also sent a letter and the awareness video at the top of this blog to the Dr. Oz Show...anxious to see where that leads!
GREAT JOB MORGAN!
