Bill, There is also PDF (Parkinson's Disease Foundation) and there was UPF (United Parkinsons Foundation) which merged recently with PDF under the PDF banner. There also is the Parkinson's Institute which I don't know whether they are a single caregiving and research site or a broader charity. And of course PAN which is a lobbying group which solicits funds on its own. Any others?
