The Tumor: A Non-Legal Thriller (6 page)
This is the most important book I’ve ever written.
–John Grisham
A message from the Focused Ultrasound Foundation Chairman
We all want Paul’s story to have a happier ending—for ourselves and our families.
We want to help ensure that focused ultrasound is part of our future. Though in its infancy, there is great potential for this revolutionary approach. But progress is too slow.
With your help, we want to raise awareness and funds to help accelerate research and improve the lives of millions of people with serious diseases.
Please consider giving generously to support our work.
Be well,
