I like to try and keep things positive. I suspect this organization is trying to do this as well. Good for them that they have been working for this cause that is so close to "our hearts" for the past 40 years. Has a cure been found in those 40 years ... No. But is it not possible that some of the research funding we are taking advantage of today may in part or in whole be the result if the promotion, issue awareness and networking of this organization in concert with other similar groups some perhaps older and others of only recent establishment. We are closer to a cure now than we have ever been before this is good and worth dwelling upon and celebrating. No cure yet ... THERE WILL BE! Be patient and rather support others with PD and the organizations that work for us in their various capacities. So yes I would celebrate this 40th anniversary of this English PD Society Respectfully Sean Peterborough, Ontario, Canada -----Original Message----- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of [log in to unmask] Sent: January 23, 2010 7:31 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Celebrating what ? failure? I just sent the email text below to the English Parkinsons disease society - wonder if some people are too comfy with current conditions - As one of your members, I'm puzzled and irritated by the frequent references in your literature to "celebrating" the 40 th anniversaryof your organisation. Have you thought that that means celebrating 40 years of failure to find a cure. I hope no subscription money went on parties. amanda ---------------------------------------------- This mail sent through http://www.ukonline.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
