The local Parkinson's Support Group I attend has a holiday party following our December meeting and everyone is asked
to bring a small gift for an exchange. This year I bought a tiny gift, a little ornament. It was a reindeer holding
a blank piece of paper and on to the list I put "Santa, Please bring me a cure for Parkinson's".
The woman who received my gift said it would be a great thing to make and sell for funds for Parkinson's (or any
incurable disease for that matter). I only wish I could give one to each of my friends with Parkinson's.

My Christmas Tree 2003 |
I've added two pictures below to show you the charm bracelet I made. The National Parkinson's Foundation sent a charm
in the mail with a recent request for a donation. I was going to put the charm on my key chain, but then found a bracelet
that matched the charm and added it to the bracelet. One side says HOPE and the other side says "Working For a Cure". It's
a nice reminder that someday Parkinson's will be something I once lived with and not something I live with every day.
