‌
It's Parkinson's Awareness Month!

Support the Parkinson’s Community by Securing a City/State Proclamation 

Why you should have a proclamation signed by your mayor and/or city council: 

Raising awareness about Parkinson’s disease starts with your next door neighbor, your neighborhood and your community. Having the mayor and/or city council sign a proclamation declaring April as Parkinson’s disease Awareness Month is a start to raising community awareness. Having the proclamation read aloud and publicly presented to a group of people with Parkinson’s disease makes an even stronger statement.
