Some Parkinson’s events and sites to make you aware of this #ParkinsonsAwarenessMonth 2018
Posted by Karl Robb
This, as is every April, is Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month—it is a time to learn about an illness that touches millions of lives across the globe. Help spread the word to anyone you know who may have a need for assistance in getting more of an education on the complexities of Parkinson’s disease.
This #ParkinsonsAwarenessMonth there are so many events going on online and locally. Here are a few of the many Parkinson’s disease related events that I want to point out –there are far too many to mention (check your local community for special events close to you), along with some online resources that I encourage you to visit.
