My First Post!

Welcome to my blog! The purpose of my blog is to help anyone that is directly or indirectly affected by Parkinson's Disease. My ultimate aim is to be a part of finding a cure and better treatments. I know the cure is out there. We just haven't managed to find it yet. I also hope that when we cure Parkinson's that cure will have a domino effect and other neurological diseases like Alzheimer's, ALS, MS and Huntington's Disease won't be far behind. I am confident that once one of these devastating illnesses is cured the mental block we collectively hold for neurological diseases will be broken.

My Mom has PD and has been fighting against it for about 16 years now. My Dad is the primary caregiver and I don't see her everyday, but that does not mean it does not affect me.

I am a member of Team Fox, the volunteer fundraising arm of The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Please visit my Team Fox page to learn more about why I am passionate about finding a cure! A $6 donation would also help us all get closer to a cure!
