My license plate


This is how I drive around Arizona, with my CURE CJD plates. I have to get the message across somewhow, and in every way I can possibly think of. If you have a CJD plate, llicense plate frame, t-shirt or bumper sticker, please take a photo and send it to me! I'll post a photo of how you are taking the CURE CJD message to the streets and will also tell you story. You can e-mail it to heatlarson@yahoo.com.
