Hi Hilary,
The Dana Alliance's website will tell you all about their work and
Brain
Awareness Week. It's quite interesting, but they never have given PD
the
attention that other diseases seem to get.

Subject: BRAIN AWARENESS WEEK
Has anyone else heard references on the radio to Brain Awareness Week?
I
called the
the 800 number , and just got a call back from some PBS station
somewhere in
the middle of the country - unfortunately I was surrounded by a lot of
noise
and couldnt hear very well. BUt I did establish that it was
associated with a
program called "Gray Matter"s, that it dealt with, i.a. alzheimers,
and m,s,
but said nothing about parkinson's. When I asked the fellow on the
phone, he
didnt seem to understand my reference to Parkinson's -= but he is
sending me
the available literature - I will inform you all when I get it. unless
somebody else knows more than i do
on the subject, By the way, Brain Awareness Week runs from March 15 -
21
