This is what I posted on facebook
Paula Wittekind died yesterday. She was a pioneering advocate for patients who have Parkinson's Disease. Her's was the first voice to respond when I looked to the internet for support more than a decade ago. People living with PD worldwide owe her a debt of gratitude for insisting that patients have a place at the table where all of the important decisions are being made about our lives; I am certain she hastened the cure that still eludes us, but will someday be found. She was my mentor and friend, and I miss her. Rest in peace, Paula!
