The
Revlon/UCLA Women's Cancer Research Program is dedicated to research in all
women's cancers (including breast and ovarian cancer). The program's director
is Dr. Dennis Slamon, who first identified the link between a genetic mutation
and a virulent form of breast cancer. This research led to the development of
Herceptin, the first gene-based therapy to be approved by the FDA to treat
metastatic breast cancer (September 1998).

Memorial Fund
As
you may
know funerals are very expensive and his family has been left with a
considerable bill following Glenn's funeral. We as his friends have
established a memorial fund in the hopes of lightening the financial
burden
on his family. To lose Glenn is a tremendous tragedy and for his
family to
be forced to deal with financial hardships on top of the emotional ones
they
are already facing is horrific. It is for that reason that I ask you
to
help spread the word and contact information for Glenn's family. The
memorial fund is call...The Glenn Quinn Memorial Fund and all donations
should be sent to
The Glenn Quinn Memorial Fund
Care Of Mary Quigley
12049 Valleyheart Dr.
Studio City CA, 91604
Please help us, Glenn's friends help his family by relaying this
information
to as many people as possible. Any donation would help. A few dollars
from
many people adds up quickly and would go a long way towards lifting the
family's financial hardships.

*This fund was setup by friends and co-workers of Glenn Quinn from his Roseanne days. All donations are greatly appreciated!
