Hi,

This has become a very personal issue in my life, so much so that my wife, Kathy, and I moved into a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) in October of last year.  Kathy decided that she wanted to be one push button away from help whenever I am gone.  Mission accomplished!  Parkinson's is no picnic.  Kathy has good days and bad days, sometimes really bad days. It's difficult to watch sometimes, especially when there is very little if anything, that I can do to help.  I can't alleviate the symptoms.  I can be there to love and support her, and I do that to the best of my ability.  Nonetheless, its a daily battle and one we face head-on.

I am trying to raise awareness and funds for the cure of Parkinson's through The Michael J Fox Foundation.  There are currently almost 2 million people in the United States that suffer from Parkinson's.  Even in Orange County alone, there are 10,000 people with Parkinson's Disease.  Think how many more there are in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angles, San Bernardino, Riverside, and San Diego Counties! Please help me raise funds so that we can eradicate this disease.  We have participants from Las Vegas and Phoenix, so help us raise funds for Parkinson's research to find a cure.  Together we can help those people, our loved ones, find a cure for Parkinson's.

With deep gratitude,

John
