I have been receiving their email concerning PD and for almost a year. They have similar ones for other illnesses too. I didn't bring it up because I thought that this was well known. There is a live online chat with pwps and family members on May 3, at 7 pm with Muhammad Ali. The one I watched last year was on about 30 minutes as I remember. It is worth seeing if any of you have the time and the chance to participate in it. *seattle* Audrey friend of pwp aussie John 49/42/38? ----- Original Message ----- From: Murray Charters <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, April 24, 2000 8:40 PM Subject: WebMD & NPF > Hi All, > Apparently WebMD & NPF have had a series of on-line > presentations on various Parkinson's related topics... > > My question is...
