To suffer the painful, debilitating effects of Parkinson’s Disease is an experience that requires a tremendous supply of strength, patience and fortitude. And for those who are important in the life of a Parkinson’s patient, it will be the greatest challenge of their lives. Neurological and movement disorders are some of the hardest illnesses to cope with, partly because of the incremental stages of atrophy and loss of control faced by patients, but also the fact the disease becomes increasingly more noticeable to others. Your car donation to Parkinson’s Foundation provides comfort to someone in the battle for their dignity and their life.
The second most common aging-related disorder in the world, this disease of the motor system results from a loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. Victims of the disease experience tremors, trembling in the arms, legs, hands, and face. The symptoms increase, eventually creating difficulty in talking, walking and other everyday tasks.
The Parkinson’s Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing comfort, resources and cutting-edge research to the fight the cause and effects of the debilitating disease. Their science-based therapeutic programs offer the chance for patients to cope with life changes, as well as further the chance of slowing the disease’s progression.
The team of professionals offer patients the chance to continue learning, with programs that help them manage their “PD”, find resources, provide training for health professionals, as well as equip those caring for loved ones with PD. Plus, there are therapy services to aid in the common experiences of depression, anxiety, mood shifts, as well as the necessary support for care partners and family members.
