Bonnie you did an excellent job responding to the 20/20 segment "Lobbying for Lives". You didn't accuse only commented on what the figures show.....large differences in funding for different diseases. That type of response is intellegient and honest.

Bonnie ********* Funding for Diseases 10:51AM PDT, Oct 14, 1999 I am a regular viewer of 20/20 but have a personal interest in the segment that was on Monday night about funding for diseases. Prior to watching, I didn't realize how off-balance our system is. I am glad that AIDS people are getting funds but the scale is so one sided. Parkinson's Disease hit home for my family 4 years ago & without the help of the funds that are needed so badly for research, too many pwp will not have the life that they would like to have. I would like to thank 20/20's John Stossel & all who worked on the segment as I thought it was very informative & well put together. I hope that ABC will continue to air more news items relating to Parkinson's Disease. ***** Oops! I just realized I forgot to sign my name of the board. I hope I didn't make any other "stupid" errors. Bonnie
