I seize the opportunity to tell you that although I am a foreigner I am thinking to send you very soon some money to help support PD research in the USA. Regards. >> Thanks Antonio for your kind words it helps keep me going. If you do decide to send a denotation make check or money order payable to any Research facility in the US and mail to me to tabulate results and forward check. If you do not have a personal preference I would recommend the PDF (Parkinson's Disease Foundation) they have one of the highest percentages of donated gifts actually going to research and there research is top drawer. Besides they are my friends and give me a lot of personal support and they provided the PAN (Parkinson Action Network) which is the main USA political action group strong support and a $ 50,000.00 contribution to help get the Udall bill passed in Congress. If you are not on PAN's mailing list for monthly bulletins send me you r land based mailing address and I will ask them to add your name to the mailing list.
