the pope and pd

[Joan E Snyder <snyder201@xxxxxxxxx>]

i must tell you all, as i sometimes find myself in discussions with
other activist pders- that it is my opinion that having pd does carry
with it the responsability to become an activist for the cause. while i
am constantly involved with pd-fundraising, awareness, helping
new-comers, i do not expect anyone else to choose the same path. there
are many on this journey but not everyone has the same drives, the same
goals, the same gifts. i for one, believe that by his very presence, the
pope, like mjfox and ali generate enough awareness that they need never
say another word. i have struggles too, to get my groceries and do the
little tasks that make each day a challenge but i certainly don't
begrudge nor wish to take on the huge responabilities of these famous
people. this is a disease which is constantly requiring a trade-off:  a
few good hours for a few bad hours. i cannot tell anyone else how they
must deal with their disease...and i won't.
