Parkinson's Awareness Month

[Jer]

Donate to the Michael J Fox Foundation for the advancement of Parkinson's Disease research.​

This is more important than ever as the National Institute of Health (NIH) was abruptly shut down in the past few weeks. The NIH was responsible for many billions of dollars of research funding, studies, trials, etc for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and other neurodegenerative diseases, setting progress back 20 years. Without the NIH, no other major funding goes towards these efforts, the NIH was that source.

Not to derail but it's also Autism awareness month. And my daughter is on the spectrum.

That's great to know (the awareness part). Continued wishes on the latter part!

FYI - Today is World Parkinson's Day. Obviously the whole month is awareness, but today is the specific day.

Uhh, maybe I shouldn't ask but I hope your Dr. hunt goes well.

@Jeri haven't commented on any previous posts related to this but wishing the best. Have a close family friend in his early 60s who worked with my parents in the 90s and was diagnosed a couple years ago. He's doing a lot better than he was early on, able to get to most ISU FB and MBB games and got back to his old golf routine last year. When he wasn't able to make games before i had season tickets he'd offer me his BB tickets without asking. Keep up the hope and healthy habits.
