Carrying the Torch: Larry Bennett - Winter Olympics, 2002

The Online discussion group has been having a half-teasing conversation about coming up with an alternate resolution for the acronym VHL:

Marc suggested Very Handsome and Looking (just kidding).

Loreen suggested that VHLFA helps us move from Very Heavy Load to Very Healing Love.

Deb C. suggested that we are all living Very Heroic Lives.

Our transformational statement is that we want to find a cure and make VHL stand for Very Happy Life.
