Make a Difference During Parkinson’s Awareness Month
April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month. How will you make a difference in the fight against Parkinson’s this April? Start by browsing PDF’s free tools and resources, including our weekly tips, to find an activity that works for you.
This April, You Can Make a Difference
Find tips for raising awareness by ordering your free copy of 30 Ways to Raise Awareness of Parkinson's: A Toolkit for the Community, or browsing it online. It includes ideas as simple as sending an eCard to a friend, as festive as wearing the winning awareness month t-shirt and as forceful as writing a letter to the editor of your local newspaper.
Spread the Word
PDF’s 2012 photo and video campaign invites all people touched by Parkinson's to answer the question: how are you making a difference? Create your photo and/or one minute video and submit to PDF. Each week, we’ll feature one photo and video from the community to showcase and share your inspiring efforts to raise awareness.
