Let's raise awareness and support for those living with Parkinson's disease on National Parkinson's Day - together, we can make a difference!
Mark your calendars for April 11, because it's National Parkinson's Day! This day was established in 1997 to raise awareness and support for those living with Parkinson's disease, a neurological disorder that affects movement. It is named after James Parkinson, the British physician who first described the condition in 1817. Despite the challenges of living with this disease, many people continue to live fulfilling lives and make significant contributions to their communities. On this day, let's honor and celebrate their strength and resilience while working towards finding a cure.
Organize a fundraising event to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s research. This could be a charity walk, a concert, or a bake sale. Get creative and involve your community in supporting this important cause.
Take the opportunity to share your personal experience with Parkinson’s on social media or by speaking to friends and family. This can help spread awareness and understanding of the disease.
Joining a support group can provide valuable resources and connections for those living with Parkinson’s. Attend a meeting or start your own group to connect with others and share experiences.
Take the time to learn more about Parkinson’s disease, its symptoms, and available treatments. This can help you better understand and support those living with the disease.
