This week on Talkin 'Bout Guts, Daniel and Matt had to take a minute to get on their soapboxes and talk about some things that they believe need to be addressed.
My Apologies for not getting this information on the site yesterday when I posted this episode. But here's what you want to know
This year, the FY11 Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Bill cuts funding for the CDC's IBD Epidemiology Program. This would cut VITAL research into IBD, diseases that are already relatively unknown to the medical community and the world. With so much unknown, and so many people that have run out of treatment options, research is critical, and it will be cut unless we speak up! Please take a minute to write your representatives and tell them that they can NOT let this happen!

Tony Kornheiser, host of his own show on ESPN radio 980 in DC and TV host of ESPN's PTI and Monday Night Football went on a rant on March 11, 2010 against bicyclists saying "Run Them Down!" and "Just bump them off the road..." The audio of this rant in its entirity is in the show.
On March 19th, he had Lance Armstrong on the show to apologize for his rant. Listen to that audio HERE
I could not find a direct email address for Tony, but you can contact the show through their web form found HERE. You can also contact the heads of ESPN Radio, and ESPN TV. I am working on finding proper email addresses to the Disney corporation (the parent company to ESPN)
We will be back on Wednesday with a special edition of Talkin 'Bout Guts where we will be talking to Rob Hill, a man who lives with Crohn's and an Ostomy, who is taking off to go climb Mt. Everest.
Until Then... you can always email the show talk@talkinboutguts.com
Have yourselves a Disease Free Week!
