i just found out that our event (Shake, Rattle & Roll) was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last monday evening. if you'd like to see our late night shot at the big time, go to: http://www.nbc.com/nbc/The_Tonight_Show_with_Jay_Leno/headlines/index.shtml and then scroll down until you see a piece about an alaskan malamute w/ chicken lips and click on the "view headlines." this will open a window that has a farberware ad. click on next and go past the swimming pool paint colors and past bad spelling in schools and look for our registration form. it is pretty funny and i hear it got a big laugh. here is a copy of the email that i sent to mr. leno: hello mr. leno and whomever else reads this!! WOW!!! were we ever surprised to see our registration form on national tv!!!!!! thank you so very much for giving late night attention to our wildly successful event called: Shake, Rattle & Roll for Parkinson's Disease!!! i am joan blessington snyder and the shake, rattle and roll for parkinson's disease was our event to raise money for pd research. we chose the name for the obvious reasons: 1) so that nobody would forget our event for a long time 2) everyone there would either be shaking, rattling or rolling and you should see the photos!! 3) we want everyone to know that we have pd AND a sense of humor 4) why don't you take a shot at helping us find a cure?? we are two very interesting gals from chillicothe and peoria, Illinois, both early onset and we worked our butts off to make this second event a success...we raised over $30,000 !!!!l we even raffled off a pair of boxing gloves autographed by Muhammad Ali. we would welcome anything you would be interested in doing to help us to raise national awareness about this debilitating and progressive disease. we can tell you some wickedly funny stories about our experiences with this disease. stranger things have happened!! lol ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
