Thanks for sharing this, Debi! I feel a warm fuzzy in this effort. Thanks, Sam. We share your same aspirations - we WILL outrun this disease!

I can't believe he did it in such a short time - really amazing!

At the SE Georgia Conference in Atlanta last weekend, there were several couples (one with PD and the other a caregiver) who h ad similar missions. One guy had prety advanced Parkinson's, but was taking the Apalachian Trail with his wife at the helm. It is a way to sink your worries about your future into a task that demands your focus, and raises research dollars, too.

I have waned to organize a trek across the U.S. and maybe into Canada and the UK, only not physically, but virtually. We have got the talents and skills among the NeuroTalk participants to pull iti off.

If you would like to hear more, send me a PM or write questions here. I am just curious how much interest there would be.
