"So much has changed in our world over the past weeks as we have been stopped in our tracks by overwhelming tragedy. The degenerative nature of Parkinson’s Disease, however, has not changed or stopped on its course as it ravages the lives of over a million Americans." (Edna Ball, Chairperson, Team Parkinson) Hello. Please let me start by saying thank you to all of you for your continued support of Bid4Cure's efforts towards funding the research necessary to find a cure for Parkinson's Disease. Your donations to Bid4Cure Inc. and Team Parkinson as well as your support of "Quiet Heroes" through FightCloud.com have been instrumental in moving Bid4Cure closer to its ultimate goal, FIND A CURE FOR PARKINSONS! There are many ways to easily continue your much appreciated support. With the holidays near, you can now buy gifts that give twice. By going to our site Ebay.com and shopping at the online shopping site you will not only find wonderful gifts for family and friends but 10% of all sales will go to Bid4Cure. Check it out at http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/bid4cure/ In March, 2002 Team Parkinson will once again participate in the Los Angeles marathon. Last year they raised over $60,000 for research. I will be walking this year with them and I invite you to walk along, donate or become a sponsor. A " Gold Sponsor" will give your company recognition on this years LA Marathon/Team Parkinson T-Shirt. You can help our cause and get some good PR! (Brochures detailing this event and sponsorship will be sent to many of you, please contact me if you don't receive one and are interested in contributing). One last thing. We are ALWAYS looking for items for auction. And with tax season upon us, what better way to make a tax deductible donation. I wish not to diminish the events of Sept. 11. I am asking for your and your friends and family's consideration in addition to whatever you may feel you need to do to assist in the National tragedy. Parkinson's Disease is not a temporary affliction. We need your help now.
