Bob
Thanks, Paula; I thought you were talking about the movement in general, not specifically that we are lucky to have a PD champion like the one described in the article for MS.
It's hard to know how to respond to Bob's death other than to just be sad about his death and happy that he was an advocate. The horrible truth is that maybe none of us living with a PD diagnosis today will benefit (from cure or game-changing treatment) from the work being done by advocates, MJFF, or research. You just have to have hope and keep on speaking up so people and the cause aren't forgotten. Keep pushing the envelope to make sure others keep pushing the envelope for us. It's exhausting - but Bob's life meant something.
