"One thing that becomes immediately apparent to almost everyone when they are very ill is that their health is the most important thing that they have. Hands Across the Americas recognizes this before people are on their death bed and tries to provide important medical intervention across the Americas to increase both longevity and quality of life for the myriad of underprivileged people. I am delighted that there is an organization such as this that is willing to actually do something, rather than just talk about it. I hope you will be inclined to join forces with this organization for the sake of humankind."
