Senator Rick Santorum will visit southeast Iowa today for the launch of a medical research fundraising campaign.

The Give Cures Launch Press Conference will be held in Coralville at the Bioventure Building at 11 this morning. Santorum will make the formal announcement to kick off the campaign.

The Give Cures campaign will raise funds to advance adult stem cell research for cures and to build a cord blood bank so moms can donate their newborn’s cord blood.
