GregD - the orgs spend a lot of their budget on programs designed to help us "live better" with PD - I think it could be more targeted and better spent without as much duplication as it is now. The research is chugging along just fine - but it will be years before we see any disease changing results from it. The research has told us NOW that music and dance are good for PD -I think some money should be spent on getting that word out to more doctors and patients and making these programs more widely available. It's not enough to simply broadcast the information in a newsletter - more should be done to actually bring services to patients.
