World Parkinson's Day is observed annually on April 11th. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement and can cause tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination. Parkinson's disease is caused by the gradual loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain.
On World Parkinson's Day, various organizations, advocacy groups, healthcare professionals, and individuals affected by Parkinson's come together to raise awareness about the disease, its symptoms, treatments, and the need for continued research to find a cure or more effective treatments.
Activities on World Parkinson's Day may include educational events, fundraisers for research, support group meetings, social media campaigns, and initiatives to improve access to care and support for people living with Parkinson's and their families.
The day also serves as an opportunity to honor those living with Parkinson's disease, caregivers, and healthcare professionals who work tirelessly to support and improve the lives of individuals affected by this condition.
