Carl-the-Cynic <smile>.. If you're referring to the pin with the sunburst that I got from you, it's terrific looking and makes a definite point about finding a cure for PD. I wear my pin all the time, and ALWAYS have folks commenting that they have a parent, or other relative or friend who's got PD. Do the T-shirts have the same design on it as the pin, and if so, what is the cost, plus shipping/handling?

We have great looking heavy weight all natural undyed cotton T's along with a nice pin. In fact we have just ordered 5,000 more of our pins from the manufacturer. I think it takes a local chapter or organization to spearhead a campaign to do these things. National orgs. just don't have the money or interest. All the money they take in has to pay salaries, benefits, office rent, cars, travel expenses and of course a newsletter. What little that is left over goes to a few research projects.
