Getting the word out to the public, not just the pwp's, is exactly why our support group had a flea market last year, and we are planning more activities which will bring the public to awareness We had a group of students from a private school collect money and about 20 of them come to our walk-a-thon. I feel we are becoming more and more acknowledged. A principal of a public school stopped my husband and said, "I saw you and your wife on tv last night. Parkinson's Disease is a nasty disease,." She gave a donation. We also are included in medical programs. I agree we need more awareness, but we have come a long way in the last couple of years to make the public aware of this dreadful disease and the fact that this disease also attacks the young.
