Funding Boost for Crohn's Research

I recently read an article in today's Vancouver Sun,
 http://www.vancouversun.com/health/Crohn+disease+hits+kids+with+family+roots+South+Asia/9741766/story.html, talking about the link between Crohn's Disease and people from South Asia.
But within this article, was a link to the GEM project (http://www.gemproject.ca/category/news/) and the announcement of a commitment of  $10 million towards Crohn's research, followed by another $4 million from fundraising. 
I would like to thank the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust for the large donation towards the annihilation of this disease.


Thanks

AND...did you read that this project is testing the offspring of those with Crohn's? Something to mull over . . ?
