The convention

Friday was an easy day with relaxed crowds. Heard some stories of grandparents and Aunties and friends who suffer with P.D.
With each personal story is a sense of loss, but also a sense of pride in sharing their knowledge of the strength that Parkinsons patients have.
And renewed purpose for us. It's a great feeling to let family and friends know that their donation is helping find a cure. Very touching.
We were in the company of folks we'd met at MegaCon and we made new friends as well, several of whom had their own connections to P.D.
Todd Bridges (Willis from Diff'rent Strokes) came by and introduced himself. He joked a little about his past and the possibility to go back in time to fix some things in his past, but was definately happy to be in the present. Jake Busey visited our booth (Gary Busey's son) and was so nice. He has many credits to his name, but one especially significant is the movie 'Frightners' with Michael J. Fox. Jake stopped by to say 'Hi' every day, always with that big Busey smile! :D


Larry Thomas, the 'Soup Nazi' from Seinfeld was much friendlier than his screen character!

And Lois Lane herself -Margot Kidder stopped by to do some time traveling.
