"My dad was in a research group for Parkinson's for about 6 years, which was very interesting. I was just diagnosed 1.5 years ago, and started on low dose Sinemet. Doing well on Sinemet, but I'd like to get ahead of the condition. I'm excited about participating in research. "

"I wasn’t diagnosed until February, but I showed symptoms over ten years before. I want to help find a cure. I have lost family members to Parkinson’s and want to contribute to the search for better treatments before my children possibly come down with it."
