~~ THANK YOU ~~
Thank you for visiting our website -and- for supporting and caring for those with Parkinson's Disease

“Every PD patient is unique and everything about his or her disease is specific to him or her and ONLY to him or her. PD has only one time - NOW, the present. The previous hours do not forecast how you are going to feel. The only thing that is predictable about this disease is its unpredictably.” ~~Written by Rick Kramer and Margaret Tuchman~~
