Music written and performed by those touched by Parkinson's disease

Journal Star, Posted Mar 09, 2011 @ 11:13 PM

"Voices from the Dreams We Share" will be released at a party March 18 at the Cornerstone Building, 321 NE Madison Ave. Doors open at 6 p.m.

"Parkinson's disease affects every person that the person with Parkinson's disease comes in contact with," said Snyder of Chillicothe, founder of Central Illinois Advocates for Lives Interrupted by Parkinson's Support Organization. "I think that it is important for people with Parkinson's to realize that Parkinson's is not a death sentence but a life sentence. It involves changes in attitude, changes in the way you do everyday things. I'm here to tell them that anything is possible."

Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door, with proceeds going to Parkinson's research. Advance tickets can be purchased at the Contemporary Art Center; Moondancer; Illinois Antique Center or by calling 579-3026.

Danielle Hatch can be reached at 686-3262 or dhatch@pjstar.com. Read more at blogs.pjstar.com/thebuzz/.

Thanks!
 

Joan puts on quite an impressive event. I wish I could make it, but I've just about spent myself out this winter. I hope those of you that are near can make it.

There is absolutely no one I know with a better attitude about having PD than Joan Snyder. You will come away from her "party" refreshed and ready to join the fight for the cause.
