We're in the home stretch for the 1997 Parkinson's Unity Walk. Here's the latest: Legendary local TV meteorologist Frank Field has guaranteed good weather for the Walk. He has agreed to be our emcee. If all goes well we will have two Jazz bands at the Central Park Bandshell. Donna Hanover, broadcast journalist, First Lady, City of New York and Honorary Marshal of the Walk has invited Walk volunteers, sponsors and prominent New Yorkers to a reception at Gracie Mansion in recognition of our efforts to fight Parkinson's. The ball of string is gaining speed and should arrive at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in about a week. It has agreed to pose for pictures with fans. Sorry, no autographs. Volunteers are currently delivering 80,000 fliers throughout the New York metro area. Our television public service announcement is airing currently. The radio PSA will air soon. If you are coming to the Walk: Don't forget to PRE-REGISTER. Help by forming a corporate or community team with 5 members. There is no parking in Central Park. A list of parking garages will be available soon at our office. (212 580 6505) Perhaps we can further demonstrate our unity in fighting PD by displaying pins, decals and other "small" promotional items from support groups and organizations all over the world. It's a bit late but I would love to hear feedback on this idea. Sorry, I can't guarantee that any such material will be returned. Please E-mail me with your thoughts or send your material to: The Parkinson's Unity Walk c/o Ken Aidekman 383 Madison Avenue, Suite 203 Chatham, NJ 07928 Regards, Ken Aidekman Fund the Research. Find the Cure.
