Let me introduce myself: My name is Jeff Bayard. I was on your list before Christmas, but due to time management problems, I had to unsubscribe. I am 49, with a great wife and two great children. I do not have PD, but my Dad did. He passed away in Feb of 2001. My Dad, Walter Locke Bayard, was a very fine physician, meticulous in nature, honorable and well respected in the community. He was loved dearly by his family and those that knew him. PD complications took my Dad from me in a short period of time (2 years). Since then I have wanted to help fund research into a cure, and that is a significant part of my life's mission, and why I have joined this list---to be involved with the PD community. I will never ask anyone on the list for money, but I have begun to raise money for PD medical research. I also am undergoing Fitness certification, along with being involved with my family (we are going to put up a BLOG!, do you know what that is?), and advocate personal and community responsibility, with a sincere reverance to God.
