Parkinson's affects us all, sometimes sooner than we think. Recent calculations predict that the number of patients could double in the next 25 years. This means that some of us, our friends, family members or even our kids, may develop Parkinson's. Let's fight for a world without Parkinson's.
We believe that by combining the experiences & insights of many of the 10 million people affected, researchers can find patterns that will lead to a cure. Therefore, we are building a global patient-led Parkinson’s disease registry.
