-----Original Message----- From: rayilynlee <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 3:05 pm Subject: "precious little input" Our mission is to disseminate information about Parkinson's disease and its possible cure. About 3-4 years ago, after Murray Charters died, Diane Wyshak approached me with the request that I post the articles she finds on PD research and general information on PIEN. She picked me because I'm not afraid to say what I think and she would rather play a behind the scenes supportive role. Since that time she has worked tirelessly despite great pain, to provide me with hundreds of articles daily to peruse, select, plain-text and post. Diane not only has Parkinson's disease, but advanced stage cancer which involves many surgeries. She provides me with lots of political info you never see, but embryonic stem research and science in general have become inextricably interwoven with politics in the past 8 years. I do not intend to eliminate them from my posts to please a few people. The fates of millions of people who suffer from disease and disability are directly related to the actions our political leaders take. To excuse them or be ignorant of their positions is not acceptable to me. I am an ovarian cancer survivor who has had Parkinson's disease over 12 years. Spike, my dog , is my caregiver, and we would appreciate your support.
