thanks,perez for trying to bring awareness to this disease. my husband was diagnosed with parkinsons in december. we remain very hopeful for a cure. we donate to this cause. too bad the other commenters are so ignorant-it should only happen to them or one of their loved ones. perhaps then they wouldn't be so sarcastic. oh,well, it takes all kinds…….

thanks for bringing attention to this charity and this disease. my mom was diagnosed in Nov. of 2007, and it has been a struggle ever since. i don't wish this illness upon anyone, even the thoughtless jerks who have previously commented.

thankfully, due to amazing research and the support of our new president, even more advances are forthcoming. every dollar helps! it is possible to cure parkinson's disease, please join us in the fight!

Thanks, as someone who is likely to have this disease, I want to say thank you. I am only 41 and if this is what I have, i am still testing for it, it is very debilitating at times. I appreciate you!
