Optimal Entertainment, Manion Creative and Vidzu Media and Team Gateway to a Cure have been working on a documentary about Dr. Medoff’s life and the heroics of researchers who, one day, can help people live rather than die. The title of the documentary is “A Race for Another Day”.
Founded in 2016 by Jennifer Cobb, Team Gateway To A Cure is a diverse group of members from all backgrounds who came together with the same goal in mind. We are committed to helping raise money for The Michael J. Fox and Muhammad Ali Parkinson's Center (MAPC) foundation. Many of our members share the passion for helping because of being directly affected by Parkinson's Disease.
Dr. Gerry Medoff lead the team at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO to help develop the original 24-pill cocktail that stopped HIV from being a death march. Let that sink in. More recently he was in a race against Parkinson’s Disease. He passed away peacefully on January 14th, 2019. Dr. Medoff’s family requests memoriam gifts be donations to the film. If your life or a loved one’s life has been affected by HIV, Parkinson’s Disease or anything we have yet to find a cure for; please go to Team Gateway To A Cure and consider donating to Race for Another Day.
