YOU MIGHT BE INVITED TOO.....We got our invitation today...NOT one we would have been interested in a year and a half ago, but as we all know .....THINGS change. I got a call from Erica Martinez at the University of Washington. She said that they would "love" to have our family take part in the study. I told her that I would contact all eight of our kids and give them her contact information (she already has Pamela's). Enrollment and testing takes between 1 or 2 hours, and can be done at many of the VA Medical Centers and other locations across the country...for those of us living in the Seattle area, the Puget Sound VA Med. Center on Beacon Hill is the location. If you have 2 or more members of your family who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease you can contact Erica Martinez by leaving your contact information at the PaGeR Study website www.thepagerstudy.org or by telephone at 206-277-4592 (in the Seattle area) or 1-855-646-4221 (toll-free) and she will contact you ; you might be invited to join us....it's what we can contribute to the research efforts to find a cure for Parkinson's...I figure it's the least I can do with a pretty bad set of circumstances....
