April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month

April is Parkinson’s disease awareness month and a great time to start raising community awareness. There are many ways to raise awareness in your local Parkinson’s community: Ask your local city council to read a Proclamation declaring April as Parkinson’s Awareness Month, ask the local newspaper to run an announcement of the Proclamation or write to the editor to thank the mayor/city council for signing the Proclamation to highlight the point; Parkinson’s disease deserves our attention.

Remember, you are the voice of the Parkinson’s disease, and how you use that voice is vital to raising awareness, funding, and advocacy for the entire community. While community awareness and advocacy are important year round, Parkinson’s Awareness Month is a great time to start.
