Cast Your Vote, Raise Awareness for Parkinson’s Research

- Aug 22 2008

The Parkinson's Disease Foundation (PDF) would like to let you know about an opportunity - through the American Express Members Project - to raise awareness about Parkinson's disease (PD).

The American Express Members Project allows individuals with causes close to their heart to compete for a top prize of $2.5 million. An individual closely connected to Parkinson's has developed a project, entitled, "Finding a Cure for Parkinson's" that, if successful, would support research through the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, another Parkinson’s organization with which PDF has a friendly working relationship.

This project, one among 1,190 candidates representing a wide range of causes, is open to voting by the public until September 1. PDF encourages the PD community to cast your vote today - your vote will raise awareness of the need for funding for PD research and support PDF’s friends at the Michael J. Fox Foundation.

Thank you for your help!
