hi all mgh's and harvard's star wwwebspinner john lester has just created a new forum at the MGH neurology website: Advocacy and Activism: and i have just posted the following message there: http://neuro-mancer.mgh.harvard.edu/ubb/Forum225/HTML/000002.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Topic: "thanks" to john and "listen up" to all! Author: janet313313 Date: March 01, 2001 08:26 AM ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- hi john this is a great idea! there are so many issues which we all face which are not limited to "our own special (dis)abilities" for instance, i suddenly had concerns recently about fire safety at home when i am not "on", or mobile; but this concern can't be unique to those of us with parkinson's; it would be most helpful to be able to share information - and here you are with a forum precisely for that purpose! the stem cell issue and petition is a perfect example; it's much much bigger than simply one 'illness' or 'disease' - we have seen the cross-pollination in different forums (fora?) already to that end, leonard 'chy' casavant (of the parkinson's forum) has set this sunday's talk-radio show to be the third one in a series about the on-line stem cell petition. his guests will be greg (GregM) wasson from the PD forum and linda (linda5) griffith from the ALS forum, both of whom are active activists and vocal advocates for their respective causes! so don't miss it: Travels With Parkinson's - Talk-radio With a Purpose: http://www.geocities.com/chycasavant/ janet ------------------ janet paterson, an akinetic rigid subtype parkie 53 now / 44 dx cd / 43 onset cd / 41 dx pd / 37 onset pd TEL: 613 256 8340 SMAIL: POBox 171 Almonte Ontario K0A 1A0 Canada EMAIL: [log in to unmask] URL: http://www.geocities.com/janet313/ IP: Logged ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- These forums are owned and maintained by the Department of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital Webspinner/Community Manager - John Lester ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- janet paterson, an akinetic rigid subtype parkie 53 now / 44 dx cd / 43 onset cd / 41 dx pd / 37 onset pd TEL: 613 256 8340 SMAIL: PO Box 171 Almonte Ontario K0A 1A0 Canada EMAIL: [log in to unmask] URL: http://www.geocities.com/janet313/
