To add a few more pieces to the story:
I met Holly and her husband at the NPF dinner a few weeks ago. Actually
Ken Aidekman introduced us. She is a lovely, well spoken young woman who
sincerely wishes to bring the plight of PWPs to the public's attention.
She and
her husband established the foundation in her father's honor, who has PD and
is having a difficult time with the disease. Her father was a writer for
the Bill
Cosby Show, among others.
The foundation is: The Holly-Rod Foundation, Inc
11901 Santa Monica Blvd, Suite 595
Los Angeles, CA 90025
phone - 310-385-1598
fax - 310-385-1597
Maybe one of the area support groups could contact the foundation and plan
some events
that would benefit all involved. The media would certainly cover it.
