From Nan And Brenda

We have just said goodbye to 2001. It was a year of triumphs and tragedies but unfortunately such is the cycle of life. At PLWP, we are so grateful for the accomplishments of this past year and send our thanks to one and all. We are also thoughtful of our fellow PLWP’s who have had to struggle but continue to be strong and continue to be filled with hope.

As we reflect on 2002, it brings to mind what is ahead of us. It is the year for finding new strengths and new beginnings. Soon, the 2002 Olympics games of Salt Lake City will be upon us. The Olympics is an event that happens every two years. It is a time when the world comes together and more than 200 countries honor and learn from one another. It is a time when we can all be proud and witness special moments of greatness and determination. People from different, backgrounds, cultures and experiences are brought together to show all of us the best qualities of humanity, endurance and the celebration of the human spirit. They inspire all of us while bringing the world together in its ultimate desire for lasting peace.

Think about how many  “Olympians” we have here at PLWP within our midst and think about how of them have inspired so many of us. They relentlessly continue on in their determination and perseverance. They are the ones carrying our torch to victory. So please join with us to thank and encourage our “Olympians who continue to walk the "Gold Medal Mile”. These individuals are courageous because they show us that shaping destiny is made up of efforts and is a matter of choice more than chance.

Being a member of PLWP does not require work, does not require contributions of any kind.  The requirement to be a PLWP is very simple…care about those or be one of those people living with Parkinson’s.  What you do from that point is totally up to you.  All we want is for you find a home with us.

Much Love,
Nan & Bren
