Anyone can get Parkinson’s. It gets worse over time and there’s no cure. Yet. Funding research into the most promising treatments, we’re getting closer to a cure. Until then, we're improving life for people with Parkinson’s, and the people in their lives. Together we'll find a cure.

Story

Around 10 million people worldwide are living with Parkinson’s disease(PD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by both motor (e.g., bradykinesia, resting tremor, postural instability, rigidity) and nonmotor (e.g., memory loss, hyposmia) disabilities. Current PD treatment is limited to motor symptom management with dopamine replacement or by enhancing the activity of the remaining dopaminergic neurons. No known therapy is available that can slow down the progress or prevent the onset of the disease. Furthermore, PD cases are growing at a fast ever speed and are projected to increase to over 17.5 million by 2040 due to the fast-growing ageing population, illustrating the need for research into this devastating disease and because Gloria's PhD really didn't put a dent into any of this she's hoping getting punched in the face will do something.
