Not sure if you saw Doug's journal entry of 10/23 where he is going to give 2-$1000 grants to health orgs based on our plea in a journal entry. I would encourage you to do so, quickly, if you have a PD org you would like to see get $1000.
I have written a journal entry today for donation to Fox foundation. Please read and comment if you would.
This is a chance also for us to educate others about PD!

I agree that the Fox Foundation is a good one! My husband is going thru the same struggle with this disease and there's nothing we wouldn't like more than a cure. I have also nominated a nonprofit organization that works with PD patients and families providing education and support. See my journal for more info. Thanks again Judy, I hope both groups get some money!
