I get the CCSVI blog and tomorrow night a story is going to air at 7 pm

I think this is an internet TV channel. Found it on google.

Link: http://www.ctvnews.ca/w5/

W5 takes an exclusive and intimate look at the reclusive life of one-time starlet Annette Funicello. Annettes Story features her husband and caretaker, Glen Holt, as he lifts the curtain on the cruel and devastating effects that MS has had on his wife, and reveals his quest to fund research into a controversial treatment.

Glad to hear it's coming to youtube. I wouldn't have known how to "connect" to this program and I've never heard of a cable station with the name of W5.

Will someone keep us posted when it comes to youtube please?

Watched the episode this evening as it aired here in Canada as previously stated.

Nice to see more attention being brought to MS; the hardship, the medical treatment choices etc.

Brought tears to my eyes to see such a caring, and doting husband. He's exactly the companion that I believe we all hope we will have.

Thanks for sharing Annette's story with us. I can only say one thing and that is that I still hope4acure for this horrible illness. Annette is a lucky woman for one reason as I see it. She has a husband that loves her and is devoted to her and he is caring for her with love and understanding.
I wish Annette the very best and she is a brave woman for allowing her story to be seen by the world.

Wow. Annette is very lucky to have such a wonderful husband to care for her like that! It's great that he is so passionate about bringing more attention to MS. Hopefully, a cure will be found soon! Thanks for sharing this Melanie!
