More than 1.5 million Americans have Parkinson's disease, and an additional 60,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. But the disease touches lives beyond those of the patient.
Family members, friends and coworkers of Parkinson's patients can all feel the effects of the disease on their lives. Parkinson's crosses all gender, ethnic, economic and geographic boundaries, and while most people are older than 65, a full 15 percent of those diagnosed are younger than 50.
We must come together as a community to ensure that we find a cure for Parkinson's disease. Be part of the community! Show your support for the cure by sharing your story.
How has Parkinson's disease affected your life? Do you have friends, family members or coworkers with Parkinson's disease? What gives you hope for a cure to Parkinson's?
