Parkinson’s International Foundation
Help Our Cause
Your contribution will enable us to meet our goals and help fund our mission.
The public perception of Parkinson’s disease is that it only affects a small group of elderly people. In actuality, the disease affects more than 10 million people worldwide across all age groups, races, and cultures. Those living with Parkinson’s are dramatically underserved by current resources. Our goal is to help people with Parkinson’s and their caregivers live a better life.
Our online support group, Parkinson's International Never Give Up, was founded in 2015 and now serves over 1.4K members from over 45 countries. It's a community for people to meet and share experiences. We now provide a monthly webinar called Creative Corner where registrants join us for artistic instruction from the comforts of their own home.
Our Facebook page, Parkinson’s International Foundation, was created in 2018. Please “like“ us and stay in touch with the latest research findings and interesting happenings.
We have created a Facebook group called Parkinson’s Creatives, where incredibly talented artists (ie: photographers, painters, illustrators, musicians, sculptors, glass blowers, and writers just to name a few!) with Parkinson’s Disease may post their creations for everyone to enjoy!
Despite the loss of motor skills, the artistic capacity for people living with Parkinson’s remains preserved. It’s believed that dopamine, the brain chemical pwp's replace synthetically, is responsible for that creativity. Having Parkinson’s lowers your inhibitions, allowing you to express talents you never knew you had. Whether you have a neurological disease or not, the positive impact it has on your overall health and well being is undeniable. Our hope is that others in society will learn about the immense talents gathered here from all around the world.
Our online support group, Parkinson's International Never Give Up, is open to people living with Parkinson’s and their loved ones. Our private group welcomes health professionals and researchers, as well. Come be a part of our family on Facebook!
