"Vision is more than actual sight and perception of immediate objects around you, it is the ability to understand what is needed in the present to provide hope for the future.  At GTP, we are using our vision of the immediate needs for those with untreatable diseases with the ultimate goal of providing hope for the future for all affected by debilitating diseases."
