http://www.geocities.com/chycasavant/ Travels With Parkinson's Talk-radio With a Purpose Talk-radio? Travels With Parkinson's is a weekly talk-radio show broadcast live on the air and on the World Wide Web. I am the host, Leonard Casavant, also known as "Chy" and I have had Parkinson's disease for 10 years. Join me while I travel through cyberspace to talk with others who are involved with Parkinson's. With a Purpose? Yes, three of them. Raise awareness and understanding of Parkinson's disease. Fund the research. Find the cure. Who Will Be On Your Show This Week? Week Number 30 (!) On Sunday 25 February 2001 our guest hosts will be Gregory Wasson, petition author (aka GregM of the the MGH neurology webforums) and Lynn Fielder Parkinson Alliance Advisory Board Member "The convergence of her abortion rights advocacy and the promise of scientific breakthroughs using fetal tissue or stem cells has led Lynn to become a national spokesperson in this arena." Who Else Has Been On Your Show? We have been honoured by many People With Parkinson's (PWP) as well as care-givers, medical professionals, parkinson organisation advocates all actively pursuing our shared goals. For details, including links to any World Wide Web sites affiliated with our guests, see the Programme Schedule. What Kind of Feedback Have You Heard From Listeners?
