I hate to sound stupid, but how exactly do you get involved in advocacy? Not how you did it, but how it would be done today at this stage? I and my husband have tried to contact people instrumental in working for people with Parkinson's, and there has been no responses (not anyone on this forum). For those of us watching and admiring everyone who goes to conferences and gets informed, we would like to be given instructions on how to make the firist steps. I would have loved to have gone to Glasgow, but how do you get the funds? Where can we find a list of future conferences so we can at least attend those near our homes. I have volunteered for three studies, but I don't see anything but record keeping coming from those studies. These may sound like silly questions, but I for one would love some Advocacy 101 exposure.
