Just take a second or two to think about successful people with disabilities. How many names from the fields of politics, sports, music, business, science or from movies – dead or alive – come to mind? It’s an interesting question and I was curious to find out what would happen when the American public are asked whether they can name any successful people with disabilities, so I commissioned Ipsos MORI to conduct a representative survey in February 2021. The survey’s respondents were asked to name up to three people.
The survey found that 51 percent of Americans could not name a single successful person with a disability, 21 percent could think of only one person, and just 28 percent were able to come up with two or more names. Stephen Hawking was mentioned most frequently, followed by Michael J. Fox, Stevie Wonder, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Helen Keller.

one of the strongest defenses we have against disease is our immune system. one of the first things that a brain tumor has to do in order to survive in the brain is that it has to make itself invisible to the immune system. the experimental drug isn t like a flu vaccine. it doesn t keep you from getting cancer. it uses cells from your own body to encourage your immune system to mount a targeted aggressive defense. we had 16 patients that were newly diagnosed with this. typically without the vaccine only 12% of patients would make it to the five-year mark. this small group, 16 patients, did more than three times better. all of the 16 patients, 6 of the 16 are alive and disease free. 3 of those 6 are alive and disease free out past five years. we met two of those three patients. mary wong lee and michael wolf. when i tried to spell for him i think he realized there was something not right. went to work with a bad headache, had a seizure at the office. collapsed
