"Joe
I have been diagnosed with Parkinson Disease and since I'm under 50 years of age it's specifically Youth Onset Parkinson Disease. I'm trying to find via your broad readership other folks that are affected by this as well. There are presently NO formal support groups available in Salisbury or surrounding areas. I'm trying to reach out to those folks as the present numbers affected in the U.S. are around 100,000 (YOPD) . Feel free to call me at the number below if you require additional info as the disease only allows me to 1 finger hunt and peck. I could also meet you in person if needed for further info. I anticipate good things for those affected by the disease locally via meeting those few that are similarly affected."

Altho not local, try looking into the Michael J. Fox Foundation. www.michaeljfox.org is the website. He was another hit with this terrible affliction at an early age. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
