PARKIES FOR CHARITY: SHARE THIS BLOG AND HELP RAISE RUNDS FOR CHARITY!

SOS! A PARKIE IN DISTRESS!

This is a blog for Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients, their family, their caregivers, and their friends - by a fellow patient.

This is also a forum for discussions and exchange of ideas. Please follow this blog, and SHARE!

Because for each post, we will have arrangements for a certain charity to benefit from a donation by a sponsor.

This is a useful blog, because, all said and done, PD is a mysterious disease, notwithstanding the availability of so much information on the internet. 

For the inaugural post, FOR EACH SHARE ON FACEBOOK, FACEBOOK, A SPONSOR IS DONATING US$1 (subject to a maximum of US$1000) to THE LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR, PENANG

The Sponsor of Post #001 of this blog (which would be together or immediately following this ANNOUNCEMENT & INTRODUCTION)it) is a very special couple, a very close family friends of over 40 years. I have known Anna & Howard Hue since I was 19. All three of us were from the insurance industry. It was Anna who introduced me to the medical assistance industry through the Founder and the then Chairman the company in 1989. I worked for that company for 22 years. Howard and I share the same birthday. We always exchange wishes on that auspicious day. Anna has been like a sibling to me all these years, keeping tabs on me, calling every now and then, just making sure I remain positive. And Howard keeps me entertained with funny stories and words of encouragement. Anna didn't know until years later that Howard was also my frequent mahjong kaki when I was in KL!

The couple is donating US$1 for each Facebook share up to a maximum of US$1000 for Posting #001  (Prancing Amok with Michael J. Fox) to The Little Sisters of the Poor, Penang.

#001: PRANCING AMOK WITH MICHAEL J. FOX!

"Every cloud has a silver lining. Even Parkies have good days when they can count their blessings" And today, I am counting mine! Because I am in the good company of a certain Michael J. Fox. He is a Parkie too! You should know the man - he was the star of " Back To The Future" and a couple of sitcom series. So like me, he's an actor. And a comedian.

And I promised that I will not be a burden to family and friends. I have failed .  And I have failed very miserably. There were good and sound advices which I ignored. There were fundamental, simple steps I could have followed but did not. In the final analysis, I didn't do what I should have done; and I did what I shouldn't have done.  So there were lessons...
