What an interesting and factual article. Thank you for sharing this, Carolyn. Being among those 22,000 at the BIO meeting this week, I agree that the CEO (Greenwood) made a real effort to include patient groups and orgs in this year's meeting.
The Parkinson's Disease Foundation's program - PDTrials - and the Parkinson Pipeline Project were exhibiting on the front end of the advocacy groups. We were flooded with visitors, and our website's hits skyrocketed as a result of us giving out cards and fact sheets.
We should all be doing our part to speed up the drug & treatment approval process:
1. By considering participation in a clinical trial
2. By spreading the awareness about living with PD
3. By demanding your rights to information on research
4. By helping raise funding for research
. . . and the list goes on. Have a heart - do your part!
