At the age of 48, my life is nearly DEVASTATED by PD. 12 years of an ever-more challenging battle to keep my home, to find the courage to face immobility DAILY..... But I willl carry on with pride and dignity on behalf of myself, and EVERY person affected by PD. George, I agree- as a "young-onset" PD veteran, WE have tremendous power, if we are willing to goPUBLIC with our true stories. Can ANYONE put me on Larry King Live, on Oprah, on any major talk/interview show? I will do the job, but my time is RUNNING OUT! C'mon folks, PLEASE pulll strings--we MUST be seen or we will be stuck without a cure.... Ivan Suzman 48/12
