INDIANAPOLIS - There are several reports that Colts quarterback Peyton Manning went to Europe for stem cell therapy.

Fox Sports says Manning traveled there before his third neck surgery. The therapy is not approved for use in the United States.

Indiana Parkinson Foundation was formed in 2009 by our family, which has been affected by Parkinson’s Disease, in order to help find a cure and help people struggling with the disease. We began by doing fundraisers to raise money for research, and began searching the country for the appropriate recipient of our fundraising dollars. As a faith-based organization, we felt strongly that we did not want our donations to fund embryonic stem cell research. As we searched for appropriate and promising research projects, we were quickly led to an incredible organization, which happened to be right here in Indianapolis. We were excited to find that Cell Therapy Foundation would sponsor adult stem cell research that held promise for Parkinson’s Disease.

The spring issue of "New You" magazine features "The Stem Cell Revolution". Cell Therapy Foundation's Chief Medical Advisor Keith March and Executive Director Raquel Ravinet were interviewed for this article.

Bye Bye Birdie, Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Dick Van Dyke Show (my personal favorite) and Diagnosis Murder – Dick Van Dyke has portrayed unforgettable characters that have delighted us for more than 50 years.

In my first few weeks as Cell Therapy Foundation’s executive director, I’ve become thoroughly impressed at the organization’s accomplishments so far. CTF’s mission is to bring the promise of adult stem cell research to the forefront. In just three years of existence, CTF has amassed an impressive list of accomplishments toward that goal.
