Parkinson’s Awareness Week – April 10-17, 2023

Parkinson’s Awareness Week in the U.K. is an annual occasion that begins on World Parkinson’s Day on April 11 and ends on April 17 every year. Its purpose is to raise awareness about Parkinson’s across the U.K. and provide support to those living with the condition. Parkinson’s is a rare nervous system disorder that affects movement. The symptoms start gradually in middle-aged and old people, with sometimes a barely noticeable tremor in one hand. There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, further emphasizing the importance of Parkinson’s Awareness Week which features sensitization and fundraising events for the research and treatment of Parkinson’s.
