Help to keep to us operational 

So that we can be there for whoever needs us, whenever they need us

Charitable donations are what allows us to operate, and what better way to get involved in the EOPD.ie community as well as ensuring we can continue to provide these services, than by becoming a member for just €25 annually. 

We want to be there for whoever needs us, whether is a person recently diagnosed, feeling alone and full of questions or someone who wants to meet a community of people who understand them, where they can share the ups and downs of living with Early Onset Parkinson’s Disease.
