We’re coming together to put Parkinson's Disease in the past.
We represent a global alliance of Parkinson’s organizations from over 80 countries. Together, we’re mobilizing our community to spark change.
This World Parkinson’s Day, we’re calling on those impacted by the disease to stand up, speak out and unite to end Parkinson's. We can break the stigma around our disease, lead the call to fund medical breakthroughs and together we can put Parkinson’s in the past.
Meet the entire alliance of Parkinson's organizations and learn how you can get involved individually. If you are an organization, learn how you can join our movement today.
Why
The Spark?
The spark is our bolt of energy and inspiration for the global Parkinson's community.
The spark is inspired by the electrochemical neurotransmitter, dopamine, which is key to motor function, mood and decision making. It is critical for people with Parkinson’s to retain it – and devastating when depleted.
We are reclaiming the spark as our source of energy and inspiration. We’re asking all those impacted by this disease to share their spark and join us in standing up so we can end this disease.
