A New Organization United to End Parkinson’s Disease.
Parkinson’s Disease was discovered over 200 years ago. Since then, humanity has put men on the moon, eradicated polio, changed HIV from a death sentence to a chronic illness, has mapped the human genome, and discovered thousands of galaxies among the stars. And yet, humanity has provided precious little beyond that one 50-year-old drug for PD. We are tired of it.
