It has previously been reported here and commented on that the Pope considered himself blessed when learning of his PD affliction. In a strange way, I can now understand that comment. Before I was afflicted I just kept my head down and my nose to the grindstone as I worked away 70 to 80 hours a week. Now that my productive hours are declining I have to allocate my time more effectively. Most importantly I feel a new sense of direction in my efforts to help PWPD to strive to eliminate this disease before it effects are children or our grand-children. In the last two months I’ve met so many nice people from this list and the IRC chat channel that it has giving me a new outlook on life. Maybe the Pope is right but then again I could get along with a cure in my life time . Prayers , dollars and grass root support for those persons working to change the status guo can not hurt. When you see an example of people working for us send them a note of appreciation it will lift there sprits and keep them motivated. I’m referring to events like those accomplished by the participants that brought the PAN, NPF and the APDA together to form a united front. Thanks for listening.
