Just months after her daughter\u2019s passing, Penny Howard visits Dr. Manny Alvarez to talk about the experience of donating their daughter Harper\u2019s brain and tissue to genetic research at UCSD.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

Penny Howard, a Texas mother who has become a vocal advocate for HempMeds\u00ae, was featured recently on Health Talk with Dr. Manny Alvarez on Fox News. In the segment, which aired August 4th, \u201cHarper\u2019s Legacy: Family Donates 5-Year-Old\u2019s Brain to Science After Death From Rare Condition,\u201d Dr. Manny and Penny discussed her daughter Harper\u2019s diagnosis with the rare genetic condition CDKL5 and the decision to donate her living brain and tissue to help further research into neurological disorders.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s extremely encouraging to see a reputable health professional and journalist such as Dr. Manny Alvarez feature a story on Penny Howard,\u201d said CEO of Medical Marijuana, Inc. <\/span>Dr. Stuart Titus<\/span><\/a>. \u201cWe applaud Penny\u2019s courage to continue sharing her daughter\u2019s story, and as we\u2019ve seen time and again in legalization efforts across the nation, families of young children with special needs are helping drive the conversation around cannabis reform by sharing their stories.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout her young daughter\u2019s life, Penny regularly posted Harper\u2019s experiences on the <\/span>Hope4Haper<\/span><\/a> blog, including her daughter\u2019s love for riding horses and how she was named the <\/span>2015 Miss Texas Princess Cover Girl<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Penny\u2019s blogging about Harper\u2019s journey was the unexpected impetus for Brazil\u2019s historic decision to import and subsidize Medical Marijuana, Inc.\u2019s RSHO\u2122 under the Brazilian government\u2019s health care system and would lead to other Latin American countries similarly following suit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Harper Howard passed away on Jan. 8, 2016, months shy of her 6th birthday, due to unforeseen medical complications.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, as Penny illustrated to Dr. Alvarez, her daughter\u2019s legacy lives on through their decision to donate<\/a> Harper\u2019s samples to medical research at UCSD. Harper\u2019s 28-month daily use cannabidiol (CBD) hemp oil brain is unique in its contribution to this field of study. According to lead stem cell researcher Dr. Alysson Muotri, Harper Howard\u2019s donation is already having a profound impact on medical research for a wide range of neurological disorders at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n
