We are extremely pleased to announce that the APDA Optimism Campaign has officially been launched. The website is now live at www.Optimism4Parkinsons.org All across the country, people are coming together to join in a common goal: to “ease the burden and find a cure” for Parkinson’s disease. Through the American Parkinson Disease Association’s national “Optimism” campaign, we’re spreading hope, confidence, and a positive vision for the future — as we increase awareness about Parkinson’s disease and raise money to find a cure.
