Murray and list members, The 888 # is also on the Pennies label....but when I called it before posting to PIEN, it is answered by NPF who said that Parkinson's Alliance could be reached at 609/688-0870. I called that # and left my name, # and query. Hope they call me back. The NPF person wouldn't say why the split....said to ask Parkinson's Alliance spokesperson. NPF person implied that PA was funding the type of research that is novel and does not have NIH funding/backing.

The Parkinson's Alliance - FAQ - Pro Seed Grants http://www.parkinsonalliance.org/faq.htm The Parkinson's Alliance - Pennies Campaign http://www.parkinsonalliance.org/pennies.htm They have a 1 (888) 331-4673 toll free number listed on their Pennies web site... Is "formerly a part of NPF" signifigant?? All the best to you Jeannette from the unusually sunny west coast... murray [log in to unmask]
