Tell Congress to Support the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act

I am writing today as your constituent and a member of the Parkinson’s community. I would like you to co-sponsor the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act (H.R.2365/S.1064).

The National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act will create a public-private advisory council (accountable to Congress through biannual reporting) that will:

  • ensure coordination across the federal government;
  • evaluate current federal programs related to Parkinson’s;
  • create a national plan to prevent and ultimately cure Parkinson’s; and
  • reduce the financial impact of the disease on families and the federal government.

One million Americans live with Parkinson’s — it’s the second most common neurological disorder after Alzheimer’s, and the fastest-growing neurological disease. 90,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease every year, and there is no treatment to slow, stop, or reverse disease progression. Parkinson’s costs the U.S. $52 billion dollars a year.

Thank you for supporting the Parkinson’s community. Together, we can end Parkinson’s.
