A Brother's Love
How is it that some people can take a tragedy and turn it into something that betters humanity? This video, again from TED is about a brother's love. When his brother was diagnosed with ALS Jamie Heywood set his mind and heart to making a difference. This video is about 17 minutes long and it shows how Jamie and some colleagues turned Steven Heywood's journey into a social networking medical program that tracks the symptoms of many diseases and has the potential of changing how medicine treats disease and just as importantly how it treats patients. Change happens when someone cares enough to make it happen.This is inspirational.
