This is a year or so old but still worth watching for Young Onset PD as well as fans of Michael J Fox.
I still want to do a round table special sitting with Alan Alda and a few otheres to talk about PD and how to adapt to suddenly having this creature with me everywhere I go, affect everything I do. Infesting my life and tearing apart friendships, relationships.
I am raising money for the Parkinson's Unity Walk via Facebook fundraising. I've chosen this nonprofit because their mission spreads awareness of Parkinson's Disease and distributes to the research organizations listed below. I hope you'll consider contributing. Every little bit will help me reach my goal. I've included information about Parkinson's Unity Walk below.

The Parkinson’s Unity Walk is the largest single-day grassroots fundraiser for Parkinson’s disease research in the United States. Our mission has always been to raise money for Parkinson’s disease research. Thanks to our supporters and sponsors, more than $26.5 million in donations have been raised since the first Unity Walk in 1994 -- 100% of which has funded hundreds of research studies, taking us steps closer to finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
All donations are distributed to the following four organizations for the sole purpose of funding research grants: American Parkinson Disease Association, Parkinson’s Foundation, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, and The Parkinson Alliance.
Our Walk is held every April in New York City’s Central Park. In addition to the 1.4-mile wheelchair-accessible walk route, we are a comprehensive event for Parkinson’s disease information and resources.
