Unhappy things to think about

Fewer than 1% of pwp participate in clinical trials.

For people with cancer - it's under 5%. So while that number is still low, it's still 5 times higher than for people with PD!

So regardless of how promising research may be, because so few people participate in clinical trials, it takes a very long time (too long) for any new treatments to get to us.

It's easy to talk about the problem. It's harder to be part of the solution.
