Help Cure Patrick Swayze and Connie Loughman!

Video made by: http://www.cureconnieandpatrick.com/Presentation by the Loughman family of Indianapolis, IN. Connie Loughman, loving wife and mother of three daughters, is battling pancreatic cancer, the same disease that Hollywood legend, Patrick Swayze, recently announced he has.Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly forms of cancer. 90% of patients die within 1-year of being diagnosed. Over 95% of patients die within 5-years of being diagnosed.The good news is that there is a revolutionary new treatment called TNFerade by GenVec, Inc. which is in clinical trials and has already cured patients and saved lives.The FDA allows persons with terminal illnesses for which there is no effective treatment protocol (a universe which includes pancreatic cancer patients) to obtain access to drugs in clinical trials - outside of the trial.It's called expanded access/compassionate use.The problem: GenVec, Inc. has denied requests by people with pancreatic cancer to receive the drug outside of the current PACT clinical trial - even those who are willing to pay for the costs of the treatment (such as the Loughman family).Please go to http://www.cureconnieandpatrick.com/ and ask GenVec, Inc. to grant compassionate use/expanded access of TNFerade to pancreatic cancer patients such as Connie Loughman and Patrick Swayze.

Patrick about meeting Lisa: "I robbed the cradle. All these girls were studying with my mum and I used to go and check them out in their leotards - it was like being in a candy store ... She didn't buy any of my nonsense. We spent half our dates in total silence as she wouldn't talk to me if she thought I was putting on an act."
"We were friends for a long time before we became lovers. We even lived and slept together for a year before we had sex. That wasn't easy."Source: Lester Middlehurst, "Drink, suicide and why I turned against Hollywood", DailyMail.co.uk, 11/29/2005.
Wedding Date: Patrick and Lisa have been married since June 12, 1975. They were married in Harris County, Texas (Houston area) when Patrick was 22 years old and Lisa was 19 years old.
Children: Lisa and Patrick do not have any children. Lisa miscarried twice.
Residence: Patrick and Lisa have ranches in Los Angeles and in New Mexico.
Patrick: "We try to run our ranch like a wildlife preserve. If you live your life very close to the environment, you realise that if people pull together and change one thing, one time, it'll break this vicious victim cycle that we're all in ... It's a timber farm and we're trying to fix mismanaged forests. We have about 700 head of cattle and we're turning it into a wildlife preserve. I love the idea of owning as much land as I can and protecting it from greedy grandchildren for the future."Source: "Patrick Swayze -- The Cult King", News.com.au
Occupations: Patrick: Actor, dancer, producer.
Lisa: Actress, writer, choreographer, dancer, singer, producer.
Quotes About the Marriage of Patrick and Lisa : Patrick about the key to a long term marriage: "I suppose it's about keeping love alive, learning how to fall in love over and over again, not taking each other for granted, forgiveness, trust. Whatever it is, it works for us."Source: Lester Middlehurst, "Drink, suicide and why I turned against Hollywood", DailyMail.co.uk, 11/29/2005.
Patrick about being married: "I like being married. I'm sort of like a loyal sheepdog, sometimes to a fault."Source: "Patrick Swayze -- The Cult King", News.com.au
Lisa about Patrick: "I give him a lot of credit for not making me feel overshadowed or left out."Source: TV Guide interview, Tribute to Lisa
Patrick about working with Lisa: "We've always been a team. We raise horses together, run a music business and a wildlife preserve together. We have an unspoken language after all these years. We just celebrated our 30th anniversary."Source: Courtney Hazlett, People, Vol. 64, No. 10, pg 37, 9/05/2005.
Patrick about Lisa: "She's a huge inspiration. She's never lost the vision, and I did. I got beat down by the business and the world and ... does anybody really care about doing a film that could really make a difference and really touch people's lives? And she's like a pitbull and never quits."Source: Randall King, "Swayze crazy about 'Peg", Canoe.ca, 3/10/2001.
