Raise Awareness

Each year, the Parkinson's community takes action during April, Parkinson's Awareness Month.  We invite you to start planning your initiatives for April 2012 now.

PDF's awareness toolkit is available to help you get started. What sort of ideas for awareness raising will you find in the toolkit?

It can be as simple as sending an eCard to a friend, as festive as wearing PDF's winning awareness month t-shirt design or as resourceful as contacting and working with your local media to highlight your personal story.
