Hollywood Cure for Pain's red carpet 'kickoff' was held on November 7,2007, on Level 3 of the Kodak Theater. The event was well-attended by a host of celebrities (see my blog dated October 27,2007, if you have not already).  Please visit the Hollywood Cure for Pain myspace and website to support them.

Thanks, MOK

Sculptor Lawrence Kinney produced this sculpture and I assisted with fine details. We thought we would share a few pics, as this was fun to do from an artistic perspective.

'Hollywood Cure for Pain is a movement of people in the entertainment industry to help raise awareness and find a cure for people that suffer from various pain disorders. Approximately 50-75 million Americans suffer from persistent chronic pain. Many are unable to work and even perform basic daily living activities. Estimated loss of productivity costs to the U.S. economy range from 60-100 billion dollars per year. Chronic pain manifests itself in 70% of all cancer patients, HIV, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, sciatica, fibromyalgia, back pain, ALS, post stroke, underrepresented rare pain disorders (such as erythromelalgia), central pain syndrome (post stroke pain) and numerous other conditions. A 2001 survey in the Lancet determined that more than half of 500 terminally ill patients still experienced moderate to severe pain.'

Upcoming projects!

Thank you for taking the time to read or even join my blog! We (my husband and fellow artist, Lawrence Kinney)very much enjoy the world of art.
