In 2001, Father Tom was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, an incurable, degenerative, Neurological disorder that affects over 1.5 million Americans. Needless to say he was stunned.
Monsignor Thomas Hartman publicly announced he had Parkinson’s disease in November of 2003. In the course of dealing with this disease, he has been inspired by the spiritual example of Pope John Paul II and Reverend Billy Graham. He was directed to the top specialists for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. His physician said “This disease can be cured with money”.
It became clear to him that God was inviting humanity to find a cure…
Father Tom established the Thomas Hartman Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, Inc. in January 2004.
Finding the cure
The foundation seeks to provide grants for the newest and most innovative scientific projects which offer the best hope for the advancement and development of a cure.
Scientists believe that, with proper research funding, a cure for Parkinson’s can be found within a ten year time frame affirmed by top officials of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in testimony before Congress. Advances in Parkinson’s will contribute to the understanding of other devastating Neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s, ALS, Multiple Sclerosis and many other Neurological diseases.
The Thomas Hartman Foundation is dedicated to the single purpose of finding the cure for Parkinson’s disease. We will solicit donors and fund the highest calibur of scientific research to achieve our mission.
