WORLD PARKINSON'S NIGHT
Spark The Night marks a significant shift in our advocacy. While World Parkinson's Day holds importance, recognizing the night highlights the unseen challenges often accompanying this condition. It's a time when isolation and loneliness can weigh most heavily, magnifying the struggles of Parkinson's. Yet, within this darkness, we find a beacon: a reminder that hope endures, promising a new day.
This moment invites solidarity, a chance to ignite a collective spark worldwide. "Spark the Night" embodies our aim to illuminate cities globally, symbolizing unity and support for the 10 million battling Parkinson's. On April 11, 2024, each light will represent a voice, a story, and a commitment to a brighter future for those affected.
Let's light up the world with hope! Social media memes, personalized posts, and graphics will continue to be available at www.worldparkinsonsday.com. Alongside, find PD Facts and a network of over 100 organizations supporting PD Avengers in our quest to end Parkinson's Disease.
Together, let's make April 11, a day and night dedicated to ending Parkinson's.
