Our Purpose
To provide support and resources for those suffering from or affected by Parkinson’s disease and other related neurological side effects. Educate and bring awareness to the general public the causes and how to recognize symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
Who Gets Parkinson's Disease?
It is estimated that approximately 1 million Americans are currently living with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. Estimates also show that there are 60,000 individuals newly diagnosed each year, or one person every nine minutes. Parkinson’s disease affects men and women in equal numbers and shows no preference to ethnicity, race or socioeconomic status. While the average age of onset is age 55, 15% of those diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease are under the age of 50.
Your tax-deductible donation ensures we continue to improve the quality of life of those affected by Parkinson's disease through services, education and advocacy.
