Jacob, I am 38 and was diagnosed 2 years ago, I am confident a cure or a med that stops the progression of this disease is close to being found. I am not confident that we will achieve it with taxpayer dollars. That is why many of the major Parkinsons groups are raising money for private research. Get your friends, family, basically anyone you come in contact with to go to the Parkinson Alliance or MJ Fox's website and make a donation or if they have a product or service to auction, have them come to bid4cure. We cannot wait for them to do it for us, we have to do it for ourselves. Stacey L.
