Fighting for a Cure for Parkinson’s Disease!

March 12, 2010

Michael J. Fox is a well-known, well-respected Hollywood actor that has been living with Parkinson’s disease since 1991. He announced his condition publicly in 1998 and immediately become an advocate for Parkinson’s awareness and a search for a Parkinson’s cure. He currently helps run a non-profit organization for Parkinson’s. Until Michael J. Fox’s campaign efforts began, many people were under-educated and even afraid of the condition.

This does not have to be the case. Learning a little bit about something is one of the best ways to help ease your fears.

Parkinson’s is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system, which means that it is a condition that is a muscle disorder. People with Parkinson’s typically experience “tremors” or shaking, muscle instability, and impaired speech and motor skills. These are just a few of the things Parkinson’s patients must live with on a daily basis, as Parkinson’s is a chronic condition with no cure.

We at Awareness Gift Boutique are advocates of many causes, including Parkinson’s Awareness. We are survivors, loved ones, and family members of Parkinson’s patients and spreading the word about the condition and publicizing the Parkinson’s support gray ribbon is just one way that we can help.
