Nancy P. Good Afternoon All, First, I'm elated to hear that Margaret Tuchman is doing so well!! And Second.... Margaret Tuchman is known and beloved for her hard work, dedication, and exemplary example for the Advocacy she does on behalf of all of us. Carol Walton is her right hand. Looky here! I first recall Margaret Tuchman and Simon Coles working to establish the drug database... The P-I-E-N-O Parkinsn's List Drug Database Index http://parkinsons-information-exchange-network-online.com/drugdb/drugdb.html Then there was the Parkinson Alliance... The Parkinson Alliance - The Road to the Cure! http://www.parkinsonalliance.net/home.html http://www.parkinsonalliance.net/about/m_tuchman.html and.. The Morris K. Udall Act http://www.parkinsonalliance.net/aboutus.html And... Jerry Finch and Habitat For Horses... http://www.habitatforhorses.org/ And ... one year ago... we all crossed our fingers for Margaret as she underwent DBS surgery... Margaret Tuchman on DBS and Stem Cell Research http://www.parkinsonalliance.net/news/tuchmanstemcell.html And in July... Margaret Tuchman joins NJ Rep. Rush Holt (D) in Stem Cell Advocacy http://www.parkinsonalliance.net/news/Holtstemcell.html So there you have the answer to who and why these people mean so much to all of us....
