It use to bother me, but after seeing the ridiculously small amount of money given to pd research every year, compared to diseases that aren’t as prevalent as pd, I thought maybe it’ll make more people think. Hopefully more will be given to research when more people understand it can hit anyone at anytime and fame is no deterrent.

Bernie kosar as well not sure on spelling but a famous quarterback for Cleveland browns,but he is a kind wonderful person. PD don't care if you are famous or not let us hope they use their fame to bring awareness to PD for all of us

Hello Janet,
There are lots of famous people with PK.
Some keep it private others use their fame to bring awareness to this dreadful disease.
Mr Brett, Has mot fully weighed in as yet,
Is he, going to be blaming PK for bad decisions on his part vs. Does he truly want to bring awareness to PK. (M.Fox)
Keep him and all of us in your prayers, and keep generous attitude no matter what others do.
Hope you are doing well an
best always and God Bless,
John
ps pray that there will be a cure in our life time...

No but it does help
People with PD to relate that even an all time great athlete can suffer from the same disease. It’s not us or something we did wrong in particular it could be anyone.
