Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects a person’s control of their body movements.  Parkinson’s disease is degenerating and often life threatening, requiring an immediate stop.

• A diagnosis can occur at any age with the most common age of being 65.
• 10% of people diagnosed with Parkinson’s are under the age of 45.
• There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, but there are effective treatment and therapy options that can help manage symptoms, so people with Parkinson’s disease can continue to enjoy many years of independent and productive lives.

To promote awareness on Parkinson’s disease, get involved this April by:

• Organising a fundraiser event
• Raising awareness on social media
• Making a donation
• Spreading information about Parkinson’s disease amongst family members
