Peter, This List is more than just a source of facts and statistics on PD. It is a living compilation of PD sufferers and caregivers who rely on each other for support. It's a cyber-support group. I recently met one of these cyber-PWP's and his wife in person and was elated to meet another young-onset parkie. Until then I had only seen pictures of the beast, i.e. Michael J. Fox. I plan to meet more of them at the PD Unity Walk in NYC next month. Without this list I don't believe this would have happened. The area I live in is too small to form a successful support group. If you want a sterile forum I suggest you go to a library or a hospital for your information.
