Gopal V. Datwani, born on April 15, 1946 was diagonosed with PD in 2006. He passed away on May 3, 2016.
He was a family man and instilled great values in all his 3 children. He gave his wife and children a good life and did all he can for them.
If there is one quality I loved the most about him is that he was a fearless entrepreneur. He was never scared to take risks, his self-confidence was inspiring and this ability in him was what I admired most about him.
PD took a lot away from him, his self-esteem and his sanity. I will always support the cause of the ongoing research for finding a cure for PD, so that one no one has to go through the ordeal my father had to go through.
The Michael J. Fox Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease and to ensuring the development of improved therapies for those living with Parkinson's today.
