Call the American Parkinson Disease Association Young-Onset Center at 1/800-223-9776 or email [log in to unmask] for young support groups in your area. Also tell them that you are starting a group and they will refer perspective members to you. You can also fill out their form and they will send you a list of other young PDers to contact according to your specifications (like wanting only single folks or only those in your geopgraphic area, or only those with email addresses, etc)
