$12,000.00 for Research!

New York City put on such a welcome for Parkinson's this week end and got the attention of the world for sure. Team PLM contributed $12,000.00 in donations accumulated since January 1, 2009. As a team of 29 members, what a show we made. The sun was shining and the park was full to the brim with New Yorkers on a holiday. My daughter and I arrived with Dixie and Cherie about nine am and things were already busy. The stands were set up and people were hugging and crying in an air of love. Yes we or our family member had Parkinson's but we were pushing it back and it was not in control of us or the day. I was so proud of my fellow PLM-ers. I met many from PLM and Facebook and the Unity Walk Staff. There is nothing like the thrill of meeting someone you have spoken to for months and then you see them in person. Pictures and interviews were being taken everywhere. WOW. And the Lady...Our Quilt....She came in in grand style and made such a hit. after all the photo shots, I took her to the National Parkinson Foundation Tent and they hung her up for all to see the rest of the day....Everyone was talking about PLM and it's "Quilt Angels" More pictures will be coming and many more words about the experience...It was awesome love pokie
