Default You found us!

Thank you, Stand Tall, for acknowledging our book mentioned in the Michael J. Fox Foundation blog.

Nan the cyclist also mentioned our book sometime back. I will search for her post later.

And at the World Parkinson Congress in Montreal in October of this year, I was taken aback to be sitting in the morning plenary session when epatient Dave was giving his presentation, and this slide came up:

I cried tears - real tears - when epatient Dave showed a page from our book with our friend, Paula Wittekind looking at her wrist watch. The heading was her infamous saying, "Time is not neutral for those who have Parkinson's." How true coming from one who didn't live to see our book in final print due to esophGeal cancer, and having battled Parkinson's for 25 years!

We hope that the word gets around this way, then we won't sound so narcissistic (I have never liked that word).

But more is coming, we just had a delay of 3 years, instead of the one year we thought it would take to write this book.

But wait until you see it! Lindey and many of you along with several more authors who post here, took your writings and turned this book into a work of art. As well as an invaluable resource.

Probably our most glowing review came from the Parkinson's Movement newsletter, "On the Move." Co-editor Jon Stamford, neurological researcher and himself a person with Parkinson's. Read it here:

Oh, and did I tell you that Doc John (Grohol) wrote the forward?

More coming on this for certain!

After all, it's YOUR book.
