Anyone else invited???

[mitchdee]

ive been invited by PD UK to an event for young people with pd in stirling (scotland) in september, its funded by the j macdonald menzies trust,

Anyone else going or have you been before. Ive not had the courage (or is it i havent faced the fact i have pd) to go to any support meetings. but if they help in anyway as much as this site it will be worth my while.

Hi Mitchdee

This looks like a PUK -Scotland event (found it on their site). I have been to a PUK - England weekend event two years ago. If i had the chance again i'd certainly go. They are good, hope you find someone else going ( or i could come in your suitcase)

thanks im going, i can take a carer with me, i dont need carer yet but my best friends dad was dx 2 weeks after me so i think she will get something out of it too, your more than welcome to hide in my suitcase

well, now I am hurt..............guess they don't think i am young enough??

LOL

[mitchdee in reply to JAYNIE]

lol, bet im older than you, im invited as they are giving priority to newly dx people, its not till sept so your invite might come yet ...

[JAYNIE in reply to mitchdee]

well now...........LOL, let's first of all, make that bet !!!!!!! but be careful and don't bet too much as I for sure will win. Since I was diagnosed in 1998, the priority ummm people have priority people as you said,, sounds kinda snobby to me, but I will lwait patiently by my front door, for my "mail person"to bring me my invite..........and who will pay for my flight???????

I have asked PUK to provide some more details for the members of this site. Personally I have been involved in 3 younger persons events held in Stratford as an organiser and speaker. I know how much people have gained from going, the experience has truly helped. So I would urge you to attend

[mitchdee in reply to Hidden]

thank you i will be going, as only been dx since jan i have lots to learn about what my future may hold
