what is parkinson's awareness month?
This month we honor our diverse and inspiring community and their loved ones who remind us every day of the power of their resilience and strength.
Parkinson’s Awareness Month is a time to highlight the impact of Parkinson’s disease on individuals, families, and communities worldwide.
It’s an opportunity to honor the commitment of healthcare professionals who work tirelessly to improve lives of people living with Parkinson’s.
This month also serves as a call to action for leaders and policymakers to recognise the profound impact of Parkinson’s disease and ensure that those affected receive the resources, care, and support they need.
