I have just started working on a volunteer basis with our local PD support group, and have established that a local health club is willing to work with PD clients.

Good luck in your new position! I get the Johns Hopkins Medical Letter "Health After 50" and always enjoy it. May I pass your abstract on to our local support group and/or Healthworks for their work with PD clients? I'm sure it would be much appreciated. Thanks for sharing this information with me.
