Live Video - Duke's Cystic Fibrosis Education Day
From the kind people at Duke:
For those interested in following CF Education Day this Saturday via the web, we use a free (advertising-funded) website that is not affiliated with Duke to carry the broadcast. The web link is http://www.justin.tv/dukecfcenter and it will be live on Saturday when the speakers are presenting. There is also a text chat window where people at home can type questions. One of our CF center staff will be monitoring the chat and can read the questions aloud when the presenters take questions.
Users at home do not need an account log in to Justin.tv. The chat is open to "anonymous" users, and they will appear as "justintv42738965" or some combination of numbers. This is beneficial in protecting our patients' privacy, but the risk is that sometimes random users (not affiliated with our CF center) will drop by and post in our chat area.
With that in mind, and knowing that we can't control what ads are presented by the service, I do recommend parental guidance if families are watching at home. I would hate for a child to see something that their parents would not want them to view (violent video game ad or similar). It is possible to view the video in fullscreen mode and this may limit the intrusiveness of advertisements.

An Exciting Announcment!
I'm very excited to announce that I am currently putting together a schedule for speaking engagements for the remainder of 2009. As you know, one of the purposes of this blog has always been to both share our story and help others going through similar experiences AND help educate the general public about Cystic Fibrosis, Organ Donation & Transplantation, Lymphoma and Premature Birth. With the unexpected popularity of the blog, we have seen how God has allowed our story to reach so many and have been invited several times to share our story with different groups of people. Tricia's and Gwyneth's health, however, have kept us from accepting many of these invitations until now.
We are going to keep our speaking engagement schedule limited as we give it our first go through the remainder of this year...again, this is not an attempt at fame or fortune, but an opportunity we feel we can make the most of in using the gifts that God has given us to bless others. I do not have any expectations of a great response to this, nor do we have any unrealistic visions (or desires) of traveling the world, so we'll just see what comes of it!
If you or somebody you know is interested in contacting us about a speaking engagement, please visit ConfessionsOfACFHusband.com and click the "Appearances" tab for more information.
Thanks!
