Dear Camilla,
To my delight the free literature from the National Parkinsons Foundation, which
I e-mailed for on the 8th of October, arrived here to-day (the 27th of October), in Australia.
I am sending them some money to cover postage and packaging.
The package included six booklets, an issue of the quarterly magazine: Parkinson Report
and some leaflets. I have not had the chance to read it all, but at first glance there is a lot
of very useful information there, which certainly would answers also many questions of those
new to PD.
Thank you Camilla for facilitating this option.
Kindest regards, Erika.
