In his blog (Bob Clark Beyond: More than just a blog), Bob Clark describes his extremely personal experience with CRV/RVCL. After losing his wife Ellen to the disease, and to honor her memory, he worked with Maya Lin (the creator of the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial) to construct the Ellen S. Clark Hope Plaza at Washington University. They wanted to create “a place that would allow visitors who are coming here – many for very difficult medical situation – to be transported to a beautiful place that would give them a sense of comfort, peace and hope.”
The Clayco Foundation also is a major contributor to our RVCL Research and Therapeutics Center.
