How You Help us Make a Difference

Your Difference

PDF says thank you to the following groups for your contributions in 2012:

LARGE PD

100 PDF-funded researchers who are working to find the causes of and a cure for Parkinson's disease.

 

PD online

The 12,000 individuals who have contacted PDF's Helpline with questions or who have ordered materials, for themselves, or for their loved ones, patients or community members.

 

10,000 people with PD and care partners, 15,000 nurses and physical therapists, 20 faculty members, nine sponsors, and media partners and CEU partners - who made our online education possible, including six PD ExpertBriefings, a four-part PAIR online course and two professional education courses for health care professionals.

The thousands of you who improved the community's understanding of Parkinson's during April's Parkinson's Awareness Month, and all year long, by writing letters, creating library displays, hanging posters and designing t-shirts.

Our 200 PDF Research Advocates, who are working across the country to speed new treatments through the PAIR program. Through conferences, support group meetings, and PAIR Up for PD forums, their message has reached 20,000 people.

More than 100 PDF Champions around the country, who raised awareness of Parkinson's disease in their local communities and funds for research.

Almost 100 advisors, including members of our People with Parkinson's Advisory Council, Board of Directors and Scientific Advisory Board, who have guided and improved our work, and helped us to better serve you.

YOU! It is your support - your donations, words of support, feedback on surveys, posts on Facebook and Twitter - that allow us to come closer to a world without Parkinson's.
