How Did M4P Start? 🔎

Parkinson’s disease has been known about for over 200 years, and has impacted millions of people. As we worked on our campaign, we found that it was incredibly common to reach out to someone and find that they already have had a direct relationship with Parkinson’s disease. 

The problem is that even with this prevalence of the disease, so much is unknown. From a general standpoint, many people might have heard of Parkinson’s disease before, but are unable to really tell you what it entails. From a scientific standpoint, there is a lack of knowledge. There is no known cause, no standard diagnosis, and no proper cure. Many scientists are still currently trying to make breakthroughs in understanding Parkinson’s – with growing pressures to come up with novel approaches, since current research still hasn’t revealed much substantial information to work with. That is to say that there is a lot more research to be done with Parkinson’s disease, and that it is crucial that people are aware of this as they consider where to donate some of their money, or even the kinds of careers they might recognize they could pursue in the future. 

We hope to raise awareness about Parkinson’s disease to those who may not know much about it, and to inspire others to invest into more research for Parkinson’s disease.
