Please help my friend's son, Owen, get the badly needed drug, methotrexate, he needs to win his battle with ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) by signing this online petition to the president and congress.

http://www.change.org/petitions/congress-and-the-president-permanently-eliminate-the-shortage-of-generic-drugs

ALL is a common childhood cancer. Methotrexate is a cheap, generic drug that is highly effective in curing this cancer but is in short supply because drug companies cut back production due to the fact that the profit margin for methotrexate is too low.

We need 1000 signatures. Please help us, PJers!
Thank You!!

    Done, best wishes to Owen? With 3 kids can't even imagine what parents going through. Hope he gets necessary medicine.

    Well-wishes to the young one, and to the others who will benefit from this as well.

    (Doesn't have to be said, I know - but the fact that a petition even needs to be signed to provide for LIFESAVING MEDICATION is just ludicrous.)

    I know. I guess I’m naïve in wanting to believe people/drug companies have enough good in them that they’ll want do the right thing. Thank you so much, hedonist, for taking time to help us.

    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
