Hello fellow grassrooters - just want to tell you of a long, empathetic and inspiring letter from Rep. Fred Upton, an original sponsor of the Udall Bill. It contains an update on progress/status, and closes with: "Having seen firsthand the cruel toll that Parkinson's disease takes on individuals and their loved ones, I remain strongly committed to the enactment of this bipartisan legislation. Knowing of your dedication and commitment to this effort further strengthens my resolve." Mary Rack
