Hi Gang, I just received a new publication (16 page 8 1/2 x 11 glossy) called "Parkinson Post". This is the Parkinson Foundation of Canada's first national magazine for Parkinsonians, their families, and their caregivers. Are all of the Canadians getting this? If not you're missing our own Judith Richards featured in the centrefold!! I met Barb Mallut, & Barb Patterson, & Kathrynne Holden last year and I sorta met all of the rest of you in this list but it's nice to see Al & Judith Richards picture and read Al's caregiver article "Silk Pyjamas Can Be A Real Problem". I am told the National Parkinson Foundation also has a glossy quarterly. Did this replace the Parkinson Report? There are roughly 100,000 Parkies in Canada. If even 10% were to subscribe that would be 10,000 households. If they then donated their copy to their family doctors waiting room that would increase the exposure and potential awareness at least ten fold. Seems like a good project for Parkinson's Awareness Month - Subscribe and consider gift subscriptions to appropriate people. I am going to do this now. All the best...........Murray [log in to unmask]
