As young single people with Parkinsons in the 30-55 year old range we have very real concerns and needs that differ from married or older people with Parkinsons. 1. We have continuing responsibilities to care for ourselves and others. 2. We have concerns about the future, supporting ourselves, medical costs and insurance, retirement, etc. 3. We are concerned about having a rich social life, with friends that we can relate to and understand what we go through daily. 4. We seek to connect with other young on-set Parkinsonians in an effort to support one another on an emotional and caring basis. If you agree with me, and are interested in being a part of a caring and supportive group of young on-set singles with PD in the Los Angeles area (that would geographically encompass, Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley, Ventura County and Orange County) please respond ASAP to Bob Garrick and Barbara Jensen by either e-mail, phone or to the following address: [log in to unmask] Bob Garrick 6333 Canoga Ave. #126 Woodland Hills, CA 91367 (818)227-4842 Please include the following information so we can contact you about our first get together. name address phone number age gender Please join us and meet some great supportive new friends!
