Mission Statement
       Gerard was diagnosed as having
    Parkinson's Disease in his mid 40s.  
    His greatest desire, after the
    shock wore off, was to do something to
    boost the fight against such a debilitating
    disease that affects millions of other
    human beings like himself.  

Having a deep faith in God, a beautiful young wife
and two wonderful elementary school-aged children, motivated
him that much more to win the battle against this disease.

When the gift of writing surfaced unexpectedly as a positive force
against PD symptoms and its progression, he couldn't and hasn't
stopped writing since.  Gold Valley Publications became the
manifestation of this gift, a company in its infancy, and established
by his wife, Rebecca.  Her convictions and his, are one in the
desire to help support Parkinson's Research and Patient Services,
until a cure has been found and approved by the FDA.

"Both Rebecca and I will join up, back to back, with the other
heavyweights, and together we will win this fight!"  Gerard has
declared.

"My hope is that not only will I shed a positive light for all those
who read my books, but also the hope that the books will lead
with a strong left and a hard right towards the fight against
Parkinson's Disease and the purpose we have been given to help
the University of Arizona's Neuroscience Research Department
implement their ground breaking discoveries, will be fulfilled," he's
stated.
