Hylie's Speech

At the Methusalabs press conference, Hylie gave the nicest speech about her cure and how she wants to help other kids. We managed to get a transcript of it for everyone who missed it on TV.

Hylie: Hi, I'm Hylie. Last fall I got very sick and I almost died. It was really scary. I was lucky enough to get help. Without the money for my operation, and special medicine, I would not be here talking to you right now! Methusalabs found out about me because of a letter my family wrote them, and decided I should get some of their new experimental medicine called Lifloxin. The medicine made me able to live through the surgery that I needed. I guess you can say I owe my life to Lifloxin and Methusalabs.

Hylie: Now they would like to be able to help other kids who are also sick. I don't understand all the details (but someday I want to be a doctor so I can!), but they can test kids to see if they have a hidden illness that might be helped with Lifloxin. And the best part of all is that the test is free!

Hylie: I am so grateful to be here today. I hope other kids can get better, just like I did. Although my illness was pretty obvious, there are other hidden sicknesses that Lifloxin can help. All you need to go is get a blood sample and send it to Methusalabs for testing. They will do all the rest for you.

Hylie: Thank you everyone for listening to me, and thank you to Methusalabs for saving my life!
