PD Research News
Don’t you love it when you donate money to a charitable organization and someone matches your amount? Well, here’s you chance to benefit Parkinson’s Disease research in the memory of National Parkinson Foundation Chairman Emeritus Nathan Slewett. Go to this website, make your donation, and Mr. Slewett’s family and friends will match it, dollar for dollar.
I just got a huge $40 royalty check for one of my books. Look how I can turn it into an $80 donation.
Spent a lovely half hour this morning with Bryan Allen on CKNX Radio in Wingham, Ontario. So far, along with being listed on quite a few web news gathering sites, this is the sum total of my investment in yet another press release. But the release is only 48 hours old, so let’s not give up hope yet.
The whole interview runs about 25 minutes, but you can watch MY end of the first 9 minutes by looking at the You Tube video above.
Or, you can listen to the audio from the entire interview right here.
It was a great conversation and it would be nice if, for once, if one of my radio interviews — or press releases — or any of the other monetary investments I’ve made into trying to raise money for Parkinson’s disease research — would translate into actual book sales. So far — I’ve sold one PDF download. That’s about $2 for PD research. Somehow, I just don’t think that’s going to be enough to do the job.
Anyway, here’s the YOU TUBE link…
Bill Schmalfeldt is serving notice. It's time for Parkinson's disease patients to stop being invisible. It's time for a nationwide effort to raise awareness about crippling degenerative neurological disorder and the havoc it wreaks on American families -- approximately 1.5 million people currently have a PD diagnosis with 50-thousand new cases each year. Having had PD himself since 2000 at age 45, Bill volunteered for experimental brain surgery in 2007. In "Put On Your Parky Face" Bill spins a humorous, poignant, sometimes angry tale about his life with this incurable progressive neurological condition. He will soon retire from Federal service, planning to use his remaining time, focus and energy to help fund the research that will find the cure. In fact, 100% of the author proceeds from this book will be donated to Parkinson's research charities. This book should be owned by anyone who has Parkinson's, anyone who knows someone with PD, or anyone who might GET Parkinson's someday -- in other words... YOU!
Also available as a $15 paperback at Create Space and as a $5 Kindle book at Amazon.com.
