Only 3 to represent all of China and India... Here in Canada we have 80,000 - 100,000 Parkinsonians... We have 88 PIENet members... 1 in a thousand or .1% In the US 1,200,000 to 1,800,000 Parkinsonians.... 1548 members ... 1 in a thousand or .1% There are 2 ways to look at this.... 1.) We are the very privleged few, take a bow, take a bow... 2.) We have our work cut out for us, time to roll up our sleeves... I like both... Parkinson's month is coming up... Parkinson's Awareness too... Can we double the membership?? Start a few more web sites?? Introduce our fellow Parkies to the great resource that is PIENet and it's archives?? Show them PIENet online?? There must be a challenge here... murray [log in to unmask]
