Ken Grey Presents Updated Research Strategy
|
Ken Grey, the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors, presented the “State of the Society” address to bring guests up to date on BTS programs and activities over the past year. As part of his address, he explained that the success of the BTS Research Grant Program has led the Board to develop an updated research strategy. BTS will address the need to connect current research to the business and government partners who are essential to next steps beyond the lab, with the goal of speeding the process to bring improved treatments to patients. A key piece to developing the plan for next steps is the creation of a leadership staff position focused on research connections, and Ken introduced the new Richard B. Ross Scientific Head, David R. Hurwitz, PhD.

Ken Grey had the distinct honor of being an "Olympic Torch Bearer" on behalf of his son Billy Grey. Billy's life has been an inspiration to us all.

Ken Grey (single rider): Riding For a Hero
BY KEN GREY 
I rode for my son, Billy, who is twelve years old. In November 1999 he had emergency surgery to remove a brain tumor. Since then he has endured radiation and chemotherapy.
He has continued to go to school. Billy is a hero to many people.
This year his school, the Albany Academy, honored him with the Simmons Award, which exemplifies the outstanding qualities of an "A" student.
He is an inspiration to everyone whose life he touches.
