MW- Both such incredible stories and there are more to come of course.

I love doing stories about people who could have been defeated by what they were confronting and instead decided that, вЂNo IвЂ™m going to figure out a way to make it so that I win.вЂ™ There are now seven drugs being used to treat myeloma patients, this lady is not dead, was named one of Time MagazineвЂs 100 most influential Americans and has changed the lives of millions of people including Tom Brokaw, who was diagnosed with myeloma. The promising research was then taken all the way and researched by the big pharma guys. Our story was about how she and her identical twin sister decided to create a foundation that raised seed money for promising research. Within diagnosis death was usually within four years, there was no cure and nobody was looking for one. Then there are stories, one was a woman who was diagnosed with multiple myeloma which is an incurable form of blood cancer. It also was a really good story nationally, and obviously great for the ratings, but we were able to show how when people are thrown in jail вЂ“ that incarceration in and of itself doesnвЂ™t do a darn thing to make people less likely to commit crimes. The stories that my mind jumps to are going to jail for a week in the toughest jail in America was a real eye opener and terrifying to me personally. I think itвЂ™s a testament to the creativity of the team that works here.
