I wonder why it is that young people with Parkinson's don't join the UPBEAT group in their area?

Is it because they don't want to go public?
 
Is it because they see it as an old persons' disease and think that only 'old' people will be there?
 
Is it because they are busy working?
 
Does UPBEAT need to offer something that it currently does not?
 
The UPBEAT conference I attended in 2008 in Hamilton was fantastic.  I meet others of similar ages with PD and spoke with them and their partners over the weekend and it was most informative.  But other than the UPBEAT group in Palmerston North, I didn't get the impression that other regions had active groups.  Am I wrong?
 
Here in Hawke's Bay I have tried to start the ball rolling and other than a couple of meetings, nothing else has happened.
 
What can we do?
 
Comments would be most appreciated!
 
PS There is to be an UPBEAT conference in Palmerston North 5/6/7 Novemebr 2010 - BE THERE!!!!
