Larry Hoffheimer asked me to relay this message to you: From: [log in to unmask] Date: Wed, 11 Nov 1998 08:26:52 EST Dear Margot: You are very correct about the fight to cure Parkinson's disease is "all about people" I am sorring that this was not made more clear in the release you referred to. Please be assured that the National Parkinson Foundation recognizes the work of the grass roots and that is why it is supporting the alliance as stated in the release. We have some of the most dedicated people involved and welcome you to join in the final battle for the cure..Without the dedicated activists like yourself and the others, many of whom have formed the Parkinson Alliance, the Udall Bill would not have become law and NIH would not be inclined to focus more research attention of Parkinson's desease. The people in the Parkinson's community have moved a major mountain that was blocking, or at least slowing, the search for the cure. Thank you for your observations. Larry Hoffheimer National Parkinson Foundation
