Yes, by putting a face on a devastating disease. But how is that different from any other advocacy piece--hungry, distended children in Ethiopia, cleft-lip kids in south america, hurricane-ravaged New Orleanians wandering the streets.

Be fair. Hank's still vulnerable from seeing those Suzanne Somers commercials back in the day, and the emotional power of personal testimonials is something of a sensitive issue. It gets ya right there, ya know?
