Our (Eddie and Brian Bluff’s) Mom has lived with Parkinson’s Disease for the past 20 years. Here’s a picture of Mom, Freddy (my – Brian’s – Grandson) and yours truly.
Mom (PD patient), Freddy and Me - Mom is excited to meet her Great Grandson!
Mom’s now 75 years old and has suffered with Parkinson’s Disease for the past 20 years. During this time, she has had to:
- Retire ten years before she planned,
- Forego her plans of traveling or joining the Peace Corps (no kidding),
- Stop driving in her early sixties,
- Move out of the her home, and
- Spend three years living in an assisted living facility.
Throughout all of this Mom has maintained a great outlook! Incredible – I mean WOW!
Fortunately for Mom and for us, we live close to one of the only Skilled Nursing Facilities in the country specializing in the treatment of people with Parkinson’s Disease – The Presbyterian Home and Services in New Hartford, NY 13413. When Mom moved into the Presbyterian Home two years ago she weighted 97 pounds and suffered the effects of poorly controlled medication. Now, two years later, she’s gained 20 pounds, and has a much better quality of life thanks to our friends at the Presbyterian Home.
Our family owes a lot to the Presbyterian Home and we want to give back.
So, we at Site-Seeker, challenge any company to a daily round of darts to support the charity of its choice – We’ll be supporting the Parkinson’s Unit at the Presbyterian Home of course!
We propose the following rules:
- Daily competition should take no more than 3 minutes to complete.
- Each team shall consist of three players.
- Each week day, each team throws two rounds of three darts (18 total darts – 3 players, 3 darts, 2 rounds) at a selected number (rotates daily – 20, 19, 18, 17… bull).
- The team with the most weekly points (1 point for a single, 2 points for a double, 3 points for a triple; for bulls one point for the blue and two points for the red) wins.
- Each losing team will contribute $25 per week to the winning team’s charity of choice.
- If you don’t have a charity of choice, we ask that you consider supporting the Parkinson’s Unit at the Presbyterian Home – ask me for details (brianbluffATsite-seeker.com).
- We’ll play by the honor system.
- All checks should be sent directly to the winning company’s charity of choice.
