Default Thanks!
I highly endorse what Perry has said here. Some of you may say that you simply don't have time . . . you couldn't be more right.
  • Parkinson's disease is basically being treated by a medication/therapy over 40 years old (L-dopa or dopamine replacement)
  • PD is the second most common neurological illness (Alzheimer's being first)
  • PD is an age-related illness, and 80 million baby boomers are beginning to turn 60+ - the average age most are diagnosed.
  • One person advocating can make a difference.
An estimated 60,000 will be diagnosed in the next year in the U.S. alone - that's one every 9 minutes. WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO WAIT!
