1st Annual Parkinson's Awareness Fundraiser

[Jeni]

We are helping to raise awareness and funds to improve the lives

and futures of people touched by Parkinson’s Disease. We all want a

world without Parkinson’s, but we need your help to get there. I

urge everyone to take part in Parkinson’s Awareness Month. Nearly

one million Americans live with Parkinson’s and many of them,

including myself, live right here in your community. I am 48 yrs old

and have had Parkinson’s for more than 3 yrs. Currently there is no

cure. I invite you all to show your support by attending our event or

stop by and make a donation.

Wonder if there is anything similar taking place in the UK? We could do with raising awareness here, too.
