"There was no 'they'. Why Can't we be, THEY!?" -- Grant Mitchell, CEO Every Cure
Every Cure has powerful solutions for people seeking them and they did not invent them. The most effective soliutions connect individuals in need with those who offer a product-- specifically in this case a repursosed pill.
Billions of dollars are spent researching and develeopning pharmacutical drugs and often times that R&D sits on a shelf because it does not know who to give it to. Developed for one reason, there likely are applications for another solution and "they" do not know that.
Every Cure became the "They" because their Co-Founder David Fajgenbaum was one of those patients needing the drug that was sitting on that shelf with no one to connect the two.
It is an origin story our of desparation, courage, application of dedicated intellect, fear and an affliction that would lead to certain death because there was semingly no cure.
Grant Mitchell lives his life thoughtfully and with intention. This means he pursues things because one of the disciplines in his life is to "Just Show Up." And when you show up with intention you see "what you can do in life to create greater surface area."
When you increase your surface area you can connect people and it leads to solving problems. Every Cure is solving the biggest problems-- they are saving lives.
