PARKINSON'S DISEASE FOUNDATION

The mission of the

Parkinson's Disease Foundation® (PDF®)

is two-fold: to understand and find the

cure to Parkinson's disease and related

movement disorders; and, for as long

as this search continues, to ensure that

those individuals and families who live

with Parkin son's are able to achieve

and maintain the best possible

quality of life.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Dear Friend of the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation:

We are often asked: How would you describe PDF to someone you had just met inan elevator, as you journey from the ground to the 15th floor, where our offices are?Okay, admittedly this is a bit of a New York City-oriented question (after all, we havemore 15th floor offices here than do most cities), but you get the point.

To close in on the question, we decided to frame this year’s annual report aroundthree words that we feel capture the essence of PDF’s spirit, strategies and successes — and can be uttered in a brief elevator ride. Here they are: Commitment.Community. And Impact.

First, Commitment. The very word calls out the heart of PDF’s story: more than ahalf-century of delivering on the promise of our founder, William Black, to help acceler-ate the cure for Parkinson’s disease (PD) by supporting research of the highest caliberand relevance to the needs of the people who live with the disease. This commit-ment will be secure until that day when we are able, joyfully, to close the curtains onthe Parkinson’s story.

This commitment was evident in 2010 in our support of Parkinson’s researchers atseveral major university centers in the United States and beyond. We do not tellthese scientists what to do; we ask them for their best ideas and then provide,through rigorous peer review, a selection process that centers on just three questionsabout their proposed work. One question is, is it the best science? The second is,does it add materially to what we already know? And the third is, will it be relevant tounderstanding and stopping Parkinson’s disease?

Our second word is Community. Actually, we have several communities. The first is the women and men who live with Parkinson’s, along with their partners,sons and daughters, and friends. We interact with these folks in a variety of ways.One is including them as advisors for our own programs — primarily though ourPeople with Parkinson’s Advisory Council, the first of its kind in the Parkinson’scommunity. Another one is providing them with authoritative and timely informa-tion — through our website, our publications and educational meetings, both in-person and online. A more recent initiative is engaging them in the process ofParkinson’s clinical research, primarily through our Parkinson’s Advocates in Research (PAIR) program which “pairs” talented patient advocates with real-worldchallenges in clinical research.

LETTER FROM LEADERSHIP

Robin Anthony ElliottExecutive Director

Lewis P. Rowland, M.D.President, Board of Directors

Another community is the doctors and scientists who conduct the research and providethe medical services for people with Parkinson’s. We serve this community in variousways — from screening clinicians for our physician referral list, to supporting the work ofthe Parkinson Study Group, the nation’s leading consortium of Parkinson’s researchers.

The third word is Impact. As with the other two words, the idea of “impact” has morethan a single side to it. In the context of limited resources, this means that we mustcarefully choose the projects that we take on for their likely impact. This in turn meansthat we do not duplicate activities that are being done, or have been done, by other or-ganizations. For example, the online nursing education course that we led is the first ofits kind ever to have been attempted. So is our Clinical Research Learning Institute,which trains people with Parkinson’s to be research advocates.

Making an impact also means that we need to continuously evaluate what we do to ensure that it meets community needs, clearly and efficiently. The point is that it is notenough to just have good ideas, strong people or good money behind them; you have to be able to demonstrate that what you are doing actually makes a difference to thecommunities you serve. What we are saying would be true for any organization, but it isespecially true in a not-for-profit where the “bottom line” is so much more than the financial return on investment.

As we like to say in each annual report, nothing of what we do — not the pursuit of ourcommitment, not the service to our community, and not the certification we make of theimpact of the work that we do — would be possible without the help of those who support us financially. At the start of each fiscal year, we must start from scratch to raisethe money we need — about $10 million a year — to fund the work that has marked theParkinson’s Disease Foundation since 1957. To our donors who have helped to makethese efforts possible, we extend our deepest gratitude. We hope that you are as proudof the work you have supported as we are to have undertaken it.

Thank you! We invite you to read this report carefully and critically — whether or not wehave the pleasure of seeing you “on the elevator!”

Sincerely yours,

Led a community effort to develop an online nursing course,Parkinson’s Disease Across the Lifespan: A Roadmap forNurses, for which 6,400 nurses have now registered and arelearning about the latest in Parkinson’s care.

Advanced our research, education and advocacy programsunder the advisement of our People with Parkinson’s Advi-sory Council, now in its fifth year — the first group of its kindin the Parkinson’s community.

For more than a half century, the Parkinson's Disease Foundation’s commit-ment to the Parkinson's community has remained the same — funding researchof the highest caliber while providing easily accessible, high quality information topeople living with the disease. Since our founding in 1957, PDF has dedicatedover $85 million to fund the research of leading scientists throughout the worldand has funded over $34 million worth of educational and advocacy initiatives tosupport people with Parkinson’s, their families and care partners.

In a new analysis of current Parkinson’s

research, Robert E. Burke, M.D., and his col-

leagues at Columbia University, with funding from

PDF, found that only about 30 percent of a per-

son’s dopamine

neurons have

died by the time

an individual is

diagnosed with

the disease.

These new

findings contrast

with a widely-

cited number

from previous studies that 50-70 percent or more of

these cells have been lost at the time of diagnosis.

The motor symptoms of Parkinson’s are

thought to develop when dopamine neurons die,

but in Dr. Burke’s report, which appeared in the

June 2010 issue of Annals of Neurology, he and

his colleagues argued that it is more than simply

cell death that leads to the onset of PD. Instead,

they point out, the development of Parkinson’s is

also due to problems with communication, which

takes place through the cells’ axons. Much like

telephone lines downed by a powerful storm, the

researchers say that PD is a storm that disrupts

the proper communication of dopamine in the

brain, causing Parkinson’s symptoms before nerve

cells completely die.

The new hypothesis — that people newly

diagnosed with Parkinson’s may have many more

dopamine neurons than previously thought — pro-

vides grounds for optimism that therapies aimed at

protecting these cells can be effective for treating

Parkinson’s. It suggests the value of a new em-

phasis on neurorestoration therapies that would

protect neurons by improving the health of axons.

Restoring the health of axons may alleviate motor

symptoms, prevent cell death, and, the authors

say, possibly slow PD progression. The scientists

caution that the field of understanding mecha-

nisms of axon regeneration and the potential for

axon regrowth is in its early stages.

A New Strategy for Neuroprotection in Parkinson’s Disease

Funding Innovative Research that is Unlikely to Secure Funding ThroughMore Traditional Sources

With funding from PDF, Gammon Earhart, P.T., Ph.D., of the

Washington University School of Medicine, is examining the

role of partnered dance in Parkinson’s. This study represents

one of the first to examine the effectiveness of a long-term,

community-based partnered dance exercise program for

individuals with Parkinson’s and one of the first to evaluate

the effects of exercise by assessing individuals who are off

their medication.

The initial results are promising, suggesting a clear im-

provement in disease severity (as assessed by the UPDRS, a

rating scale used to measure disease progression) in those

who are exercising. Furthermore, this study suggests that the

benefits of six months of exercise were greater than those of just three months of exer-

cise, with benefits maintained at 12 months relative to the six-month time point.

This work paves the way for future studies to determine the relative effectiveness of

different forms and doses of exercise for people with Parkinson’s and for studies of the

mechanisms by which dance may convey benefits.

Increasing Our Understanding of Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson's Ranging from mild attention difficulties to dementia, cognitive

impairment is a debilitating symptom of Parkinson’s. With fund-

ing from PDF’s International Research Grants and Fellowship Pro-

gram, Ryan Walsh, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Alabama at

Birmingham, is using fMRI (functional MRI) imaging to identify

the anatomical features underlying cognitive impairment in Parkin-

son’s and to determine whether there are differences in how peo-

ple with or without cognitive impairment respond to dopamine-

based medications. The results may lead to imaging biomarkers

for evaluating the nature, degree and progression of cognitive

dysfunction in Parkinson’s.

Recognizing the on-going need to provide

people with Parkinson's and their families with

up-to-date research information and practical

advice for living with Parkinson's, PDF contin-

ued in 2010 our popular PD ExpertBriefings

online educational seminars. This program pro-

vided people with Parkinson's around the coun-

try, and the world, with first-hand access to the

insights of some of those who are at the fore-

front of Parkinson's research and care.

These bi-monthly interactive online pro-

grams addressed topics pertinent to the Parkin-

son’s community including research updates,

nutrition and Parkinson’s, legal issues and care

partner concerns. Each 60-minute session in-

cluded a question and answer period and was

archived on the PDF website for one year so

that individuals could participate from the com-

fort of their own home, 24 hours a day, seven

days a week.

In 2010, over 10,000 individuals representingall 50 states as well as 22 countries around

the world viewed at least one online educational seminar.

At the heart of PDF’s work is the participation of people with Parkinson’s.Through its educational and advocacy programs, PDF offers the tools and re-sources to empower individuals to become involved, raise awareness and helpbring about change.

COMMUNITY

PAIRing up to Change the Parkinson’s Research ProcessAt PDF, we believe that one way to help

accelerate the development of new thera-

pies for Parkinson’s is through “pairing”

people with Parkinson’s — trained research

advocates — with people in government,

science and industry to improve the

process that brings us new medicines.

Through our Parkinson’s Advocates in

Research (PAIR) program, advocates are

advancing science by educating their communities about clinical study participation; partnering with indus-

try, academia and government to ensure that the voices of people with Parkinson’s are heard; working

with scientists to design, run and review research studies; and serving as formal representatives on local,

state and national clinical research review and advisory boards.

PDF Research Advocates participate in a three-day Clinical Research Learning Institute. This PAIR

training program features leading clinical research experts from academia, government and industry, and

former Learning Institute graduates. Coursework includes the science of Parkinson’s disease, the clinical

research process and advocacy skills-building — preparing participants to be informed and knowledgeable

in their roles as Research Advocates. In 2010, 40 individuals completed the training.

Graduates of the Learning Institute work closely with PDF staff and fellow Research Advocates

through ongoing education, resource sharing and networking opportunities to strengthen the role that

people with Parkinson’s can play in the clinical research process.

Using Professional Expertise and Personal Dedication to Advance Science

Just six months after participating in the 2010 Clinical Research

Learning Institute, Sue Dubman of Boston, MA, is helping the Parkin-

son’s community in a way that powerfully leverages her 15 years of

professional experience in government, health, information technol-

ogy and clinical research. As a PDF Research Advocate, Ms. Dub-

man is working to solve the problem of data standardization across

Parkinson’s studies through her service with the Coalition Against Major Diseases (CAMD) -

Critical Path Institute, a nonprofit institute which brings together industry and government agen-

cies to improve the development of new therapies by streamlining data. She has also reviewed

new data standards created by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke

(NINDS) — a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that funds Parkinson’s research —

and has provided her expert feedback on behalf of PDF and the Parkinson’s community.

Researchers and Advocates Recognize Parkinson’s Research ParticipantsIn April 2010, a group of PDF Research Advocates, including Frances Waldynski of

Chicago, IL, decided to recognize “partners in progress” — individuals from the Chicago

area who have participated in trials. The advocates joined forces with local doctors, clinical

trial coordinators and PDF staff to organize an educational forum entitled, Partners in

Progress: The Essential Role that People with Parkinson's Play in Clinical Research. In addi-

tion to honoring research participants, the event brought together over 200 individuals, and

helped to raise awareness of the studies taking place in the area.

In 2010, PDF expandedits network of

research advocates to include more than 100 individualsfrom 36 states.

In 2010, PDF took the lead in advocating

for a larger recognition of Parkinson’s Aware-

ness Month, ensuring that the Parkinson’s

community rises to the forefront of the national

consciousness. In addition to helping the

Parkinson’s community coordinate activities in

April, PDF distributed its message to more

than 100,000 people through its Awareness

Month toolkit, print and online campaigns and

a community t-shirt design contest.

“Awareness of Parkin-son’s leads to compas-sion, compassion leadsto giving, giving leads to research, and researchwill lead to a cure.”

Pamela QuinnNewYork, NY PDF Research Advocate

In 2010, PDF launched its first Parkinson’s Awareness Month

T-Shirt Design Contest, which challenged members of the Parkin-

son’s community to design a t-shirt incorporating the Parkinson’s

tulip and PDF’s trademark colors, yellow and green.

Heather Hinrichsen, a 36-year old mom who lives with young

onset Parkinson’s disease, decided to give it a try. Her entry — the

Fight to Win design — received over 800 of the 1,900 votes, beat-

ing out four other finalists. Ms. Hinrichsen said, “I hope that by

sharing my story, people will realize that Parkinson’s is not just an

older person’s disease. Through the t-shirt, I want to spread the

message to everyone to fight Parkinson’s. I plan to fight until I win

— I have Parkinson’s, but it doesn't have me!”

The First Global Quilt for Parkinson’sIn 2010, more than 600 people from 16 coun-

tries participated in the Parkinson's Quilt Project,

the first global quilt project to focus the world's

attention on the impact of Parkinson’s and on the

continuing urgency to find a cure.

Each 2’ by 2’ quilt panel included photos,

illustrations and items that expressed the experi-

ence of each quilter with Parkinson's. The quilt

was displayed for the first time at the 2nd World

Parkinson Congress in Glasgow, Scotland in

September 2010.

To ensure that the quilt continues to raise

awareness, PDF is offering sections of the quilt for

rental and display to the general public in 2011.

“‘Amazing’ is a good word to describe my experience aspart of the Parkinson’s QuiltProject. Each panel providesan open window into that quilter’s journey living with or affected by Parkinson’s.”

Finding a Community Online As social networking websites continue to change the

way individuals find information and support, PDF responded

in 2010 by expanding its presence on Facebook, YouTube and

Twitter. PDF’s online communities on these sites now in-

clude over 8,000 individuals.

One of these members is Linda Giorgilli, who first signed

up for Facebook because she thought it would be a nice way

to connect with friends. However, after finding the PDF Facebook page, she has

found the social networking site to be a place where she has been able to share her

experience caring for her late father who lived with Parkinson’s. As she watched

people “writing” on PDF’s page, seeking advice and sharing their stories with other

individuals, Ms. Giorgilli began responding to their inquiries about life with Parkin-

son’s herself. As Ms. Giorgilli says, “The value of what unfolded with social net-

working — the power and strength that it gave me to cope with the loss of my father

and fight for this cause — is immeasurable.”

PDF’s diverse programs have a single underlying objective: to fund the mostpromising ideas that will have a significant impact upon the Parkinson’s commu-nity. PDF selects these projects after seeking the input and guidance of experts in the field of Parkinson’s: leading researchers, clinicians, nurses, health care professionals and people living with Parkinson’s.

Research led by Scott A. Small, M.D., of

Columbia University with funding from PDF, has

identified a molecular pathway — the polyamine

pathway — that may explain how Parkinson’s

develops in people who have no family history

of the disease.

Presented in the September 2010 issue of the

Proceedings of the National Academy of

Sciences, Dr. Small and his colleagues used a

new technique called gene expression profiling to

compare which genes were “switched” on or off

in cells from two adjacent areas of the brain —

one affected by PD, the other not. They found that

a gene responsible for preventing the accumula-

tion of a certain class of chemicals in the cell,

called polyamines, was lower in those people who

had Parkinson’s compared to those who did not.

The finding of an association between high

polyamine levels and PD — if confirmed — may

have two potentially important clinical implications.

Since polyamines can be measured in blood and in

cerebrospinal fluid, they may be used in tests for

early detection of Parkinson’s or even for monitor-

ing the effectiveness of future therapies. Cur-

rently, no such blood or spinal fluid tests are

available. In addition, lowering polyamine levels in

cells has been suggested by the authors as a

novel approach to alter the course of Parkinson’s.

Further research is needed to determine whether

reducing polyamines may in fact ease Parkinson’s

symptoms or slow disease progression.

Nurses are often a first point of contact for

people living with Parkinson’s. Not only do

nurses provide medical care; they also play a

key role in ensuring that people with Parkin-

son’s have the best possible quality of life.

Unfortunately, there is little information on the

disease designed specifically for nurses. To

address this need, PDF led a collaborative

effort with the National Parkinson Foundation

and the American Parkinson Disease Associa-

tion in 2010 to develop an online educational

nursing course, Parkinson’s Disease Across

the Lifespan: A Roadmap for Nurses.

This free online course ensures that

nurses have the opportunity to learn the latest

in Parkinson’s comprehensive care. Designed

by Parkinson’s nurse specialists, the course

was taped in front of a live audience on May

21 and made available via a live and archived

webcast to thousands of nurses throughout

the US and around the world.

The course includes modules discussing

the challenges of Parkinson’s throughout the

lifespan, and the vital role that nurses can play

in managing care. Modules are led by Parkin-

son’s nurse specialists, physical therapists

and people with Parkinson’s, and continuing

education credits are available.

“The exceptional collabora-tion among PDF and otherParkinson’s organizationshas made this a milestonefor movement disorder nursing. This course addresses a critical gap inimproving the quality of lifefor people living withParkinson’s. Nurses nowhave access to informationto provide evidence-basedpractice across a contin-uum of care.”

As of June 2011, over 6,400 nurses from all 50 states and 29 countries have registered for

the course and are learning about the latest in Parkinson’s care.

IMPACT

By leveraging its research investmentsinto supporting great ideas generated by

Parkinson's scientists, PDF aims to facilitatethe next big discovery in PD.

In her current role as an advi-

sor to the PDF HelpLine, Christina

Vaughan, M.D., M.H.S. — a PDF-

funded post-doctoral fellow in

movement disorders at Rush Uni-

versity Medical Center in Chicago,

IL — helps to answer unusual and

difficult questions about Parkin-

son’s disease. But when Dr.

Vaughan first came to PDF nine

years ago, it was as an ap-

plicant for one of our Sum-

mer Student Fellowships.

This program funds stu-

dents at several levels,

from advanced undergrad-

uates to graduate and

medical students, to pur-

sue Parkinson’s-related

summer research projects

under the guidance of

leaders in the field.

Dr. Vaughan already

had a personal interest in

Parkinson’s, having seen

several of her loved ones live with

the disease. But she was unsure

at that time as to what form her

career would take when it was

suggested that she apply for a

PDF summer fellowship.

Dr. Vaughan was accepted

and spent the summer of 2002

at the University of Pennsylvania

Parkinson’s Disease and Move-

ment Disorders Center, in

Philadelphia, PA, examining peo-

ple living with Parkinson’s dis-

ease who had undergone deep

brain stimulation (DBS), and inter-

viewing them about their post-

surgery experience.

Following the completion of

her medical degree and a resi-

dency in neurology at the Univer-

sity of Pittsburgh, she moved to

Rush, where she is training to be

a Parkinson’s specialist with a

special interest in the mental

health of people with Parkinson’s.

“PDF’s summer fellowship openedup opportunities towork with some ofthe best Parkinson’sresearchers and to have a very meaningful clinicalexperience with people living with Parkinson’s.”

Cultivating Young Scientists to Research Parkinson's


Reducing the dosage of dopamine ago-

nists in people with Parkinson’s may

produce withdrawal symptoms, such as

dizziness, anxiety and panic attacks, accord-

ing to a report by Melissa J. Nirenberg,

M.D., Ph.D., and her colleague Christina A.

Rabinak, of New York-Presbyterian Hospi-

tal/Weill Cornell Medical Center, in the Jan-

uary 2010 issue of Archives of Neurology.

With funding from PDF, Dr. Nirenberg

performed a retrospective study examining

the medical records of 93 people living

with PD, 40 of whom had received

dopamine agonists and 53 of whom had

been treated with other medications. The

participants were similar with regard to

age, disease duration, gender and age of

Parkinson’s diagnosis.

She and her colleague found that dur-

ing routine Parkinson’s care, the dopamine

agonist dosages of 26 people within the

group had been reduced by their doctors.

This “tapering-off” was often performed

because the person was experiencing an

impulse control disorder, such as pathologi-

cal gambling, compulsive eating and com-

pulsive shopping — all of which can be side

effects of the medications.

Following the reduction in medication

dosage, five people developed persistent

anxiety, panic attacks, depression, orthostatic

hypotension (low blood pressure), fatigue,

pain and drug cravings. Dr. Nirenberg has

named this phenomenon “dopamine agonist

withdrawal syndrome” or DAWS. The syn-

drome tended to develop immediately follow-

ing drug tapering, which resembles the

course of withdrawal symptoms in most situ-

ations of drug dependence or addiction. In

addition, the individuals who experienced

DAWS had all previously experienced an im-

pulse control disorder, such as a gambling ad-

diction, hypersexuality or excessive

spending. Individuals with DAWS requested

to resume their prior high dose of dopamine

agonists, even though their PD motor symp-

toms were well controlled.

The study involved a small number of

people, and more research is required to

learn about incidence, risk factors, time

course and pharmacological aspects of

DAWS, as well as strategies to avoid or

treat the syndrome. For people with PD

and physicians who plan to reduce

dopamine agonists, it is important to be

aware that symptoms of withdrawal can

occur, especially in individuals with a his-

tory of anxiety and addictive behaviors.

On May 12, 2010, nearly 300 guests gathered

for PDF’s annual Gala, Bal du Printemps, in New

York City. The evening honored two long-time

friends of PDF and was a festive tribute to the

special significance of music as a healing and

creative force for people living with Parkinson’s.

John and Margo

Catsimatidis and

their children,

John Jr., and An-

drea, were pre-

sented with the

Page and William

Black Family Phi-

lanthropy Award,

in recognition of

their years of generosity and leadership at PDF.

They were introduced, via video, by their close

friend, former President William Jefferson Clin-

ton, who spoke about the family’s commitment

to bettering their community.

Later in the evening, Robert “Bob” Benjamin

and The Light of Day Foundation were awarded

the Page and William Black Humanitarian Award.

Mr. Benjamin was diagnosed with Parkinson’s

disease in 1996 at the age of 38, and shortly

thereafter, founded Light of Day. In the past ten

years, Light of Day has held concerts in eleven

countries, welcoming special guests such as

Bruce Springsteen, and raising $1 million for

Parkinson’s or-

ganizations, in-

cluding PDF.

As PDF Ex-

ecutive Director

Robin Elliott

noted, “Both the

Catsimatidis fam-

ily and Bob Ben-

jamin have been

long-time partners

in the cause and have provided inspiration to oth-

ers in the community through their philanthropic

efforts. We are proud to say that this year we

honor not just generous supporters, but also

true friends.”

PDF thanks this year’s Gala leadership for

making this event possible.

PDF Executive Director Robin Elliott presents Bob Benjamin with a personal-ized award, a painting created for him by Cindy DeLuz, a person living withParkinson’s who is a participant in PDF's Creativity and Parkinson's Project.

The work of the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation is only possible because ofthe generous support of numerous individuals, families, foundations and corpora-tions. PDF gratefully acknowledges the following donors who are helping us improve the lives and futures of people touched by Parkinson’s.

The Catsimatidis family — John, Andrea,Margo and John, Jr. — is presented withthe Page and William Black Family Philanthropy Award.

Dear Parkinson’s Disease Foundation,

I just wanted to let you all know about something special my kids did.

One Saturday in May, my children, Matthew, age 10and Juliana, age eight and their friend, Canyon, decided

to operate a lemonade stand in front of our house.

They had been outside for a while and had already neededa refill on the lemonade when I went out to check on them.

I was wearing my Parkinson’s Awareness Month T-shirt andthey asked me about it. So I explained what PDF was and a

little about Parkinson’s disease.

My son said, “Hey! That gives me an idea. Let’s donate the money we make to PDF to help

Honey!” (Honey is their Grandmother who has Parkin-son’s). They all agreed to donate it. I was very proud ofthem and think it is a great thing to do with their money!Please accept the donation of $20.40 from my children’slemonade stand.

Thank you, Rhonda Cabello

PDF Champions are the dedicated individuals — some with Parkinson's them-selves, others who have friends, family and colleagues living with the disease —who give their time and energy to raise awareness of Parkinson's and funds forPDF in their local communities. In 2010, these volunteers have helped to movethe cause forward by organizing bake sales, running marathons, participating inbike rides and walk-a-thons ... or by creating their own personalized pages on the PDF website in honor of loved ones with Parkinson's.

Music for Parkinson’s ResearchNearly 200 music lovers and others dedi-

cated to the fight against Parkinson's disease

gathered for the Eighth Annual Music for

Parkinson's concert on December 5, 2010, at

Rye Country Day School in Rye, NY. The event,

organized by Music for Parkinson's Research,

raised $37,000 in net proceeds for PDF’s

research programs.

The afternoon featured performances by

several leading chamber music artists including

John Stine, Gena Raps and the Attacca

Quartet. After the concert, guests enjoyed a

wine and cheese reception and chatted with

the musicians.

Music for Parkinson's was founded by three

individuals, led by David Eger, Ph.D., who has

worked with PDF for many years — especially

as a founding member and Co-Chair of PDF's

People with Parkinson's Advisory Council, a

group that advises the foundation on its

research, education and advocacy programs. PDFCHAMPIO
