My hat is off to the ALS folks for really shining a light on ALS and collecting a lot of funds for research. I along with millions of others was extremely sad at the loss of Robin Williams. My take on it was that PD was the final straw. I'm not sure that most people realize that depression is one of the nastiest parts of PD. This might be a great educating moment to get the word out there that PD isn't just a case of the shakes.
I feel that we're being too quiet about this. We need our own "ice water" campaign to raise awareness and research funds.
