{{cquote|I started using Wikipedia years ago to go through and click on random articles. Now I use it in Microbiology and Genetics courses as a supplement to many readings. The fact that this is a non-profit and directly goes towards educating anyone on the planet for free gives me hope for a better future. It is projects like these that make the world a better place. }} |

{{cquote|I am the mother of a beautiful 20 year old college girl. She was diagnosed at age 2 with neuroblastoma, a cancer of the developing nervous system. That was before the widespread use of the internet. I used to go to medical libraries and spend hours trying to find a little information about her disease. The terms used in the medical journals were beyond my scope of knowledge and I was frustrated in my ignorance and my total reliance on the medical staff who cared for her to give me the information. They were very good, but did not satisfy the missing part of my knowledge about what whas happening with my little girl. |
