Hi all,
Well, I happened to test the power of Twitter and it is pretty amazing. I was searching the site for "Parkinson's" to see if it was at all even mentioned in the last few days. It just so happened that I searched when a boxing match involving Shane Moseley had just been called. There was a steady stream of comments about Moseley shaking and of course ignorant, none too nice commentary by many young people, so I decided to update my Tweet to "Shane Moseley and Parkinson's?

I stopped the entire stream in its tracks!!! Maybe it's because I look young and my son is in my photo too. Either way, it made people stop and think before they continued on with the stupidity. Note how the tone of the last "sport's commentator" has changed! Saved the search so anyone who wants to can see it in action.
Here is the link to the live feed
