Parkinson’s Awareness Month, observed each April, is a global effort to increase understanding of Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and many non-motor functions. Throughout the month, advocacy groups, researchers, clinicians, and communities come together to educate the public, support those living with the disease, and highlight the need for continued research and better treatments. Campaigns often include public events, fundraising walks, educational programs, and digital outreach, all aimed at improving visibility, reducing stigma, and pushing for the funding and scientific progress needed to move closer to a cure.
