MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT – OCTOBER 2019

It’s been a wonderful year of challenge, change, and growth acknowledged and celebrated by all the wonderful September birthday sentiments and donations honoring a prime birthday in my life. THANK YOU for caring and sharing and helping me make the work PRO does possible. It is with renewed energy and commitment that I challenge everyone even remotely aware of Parkinson’s to  step up and join me in closing the year with the goal of making every day count and helping every person with Parkinson’s realize we are all here together  for positive change toward Ultimate Quality of Life. It is my plea and promise to work with you and together,  LET'S GET THINGS DONE.  

            October’s NEWSWORTHY NOTES does not include ON THE ROAD TO THE CURE because ICBI has been inundated with inquiries since their feature in Forbes Magazine and Roots Analysis. Getting you started with informative and exciting news is  MICHAEL LU TO PASS “21ST DUCK” TORCH AT ANAHEIM DUCKS HOME OPENER along with, NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY DAY IN THE DESERT; WHAT’S YOUR PLAN?; GAY, AGING, AND LONG-TERM CARE; With four of our constituents dying this past month from bowel blockage or constipation related issues, it behooves us to present EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PARKINSON’S AND CONSTIPATION OVERVIEW; and our BITS AND PIECES about OLIVE OIL; WHAT DOES TMJ DISORDER HAVE TO DO WITH DEPRIVING THE BRAIN OF CRITICALLY NEEDED BLOOD?;  and a lovely bit about GRATITUDE.

            Join us in making a difference in your life or the life of a loved one this MONTH by making a donation. Supporting us is simple: Make monthly donations through our safe PayPal donation page at http://www.parkinsonsresource.org/donate or mail your donation to our office in Palm Desert, CA.
