Have you read the book Ending Parkinson’s: A Prescription for Action? If you have not, you should read it this week. Dr. Ray Dorsey along with several other authors are taking action to advocate to increase Parkinson’s funding. Specifically, they have initiated a campaign to ask President Biden to increase the federal research funding for Parkinson’s, which is quite low.
If you register on their website, they will send you a letter that you can customize and then send to President Biden. It’s written, you just have to sign and mail. How easy is that? In addition to asking for increased research funding, the letter will ask President Biden to ban chemicals such as paraquat, chlorpyrifos, and trichlorethylene, which are in pesticides and increase the risk of Parkinson’s disease. Lastly, it will encourage the President to make Medicare’s coverage of telemedicine visits permanent.
There is also a live event on March 16th. I’ve placed a link to their website below. Please take a few minutes to read the information on this website. It is so important to participate in this campaign and to send a letter to the President. This is a chance to voice our concerns about research funding for Parkinson’s. We need a lot of people to send letters to make an impact. Please take a look at the website and register. Thank you for helping advocate to increase Parkinson’s research funding.
