DEMOUCELLE PARKINSON CHARITY
The Demoucelle Parkinson Charity is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2014 by Belgian racecar driver, Patrick Demoucelle, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2011. The organization aims to raise awareness about Parkinson's disease and to support research into finding a cure for the condition.
PARKINSON DISEASE
Did you know that:
- Parkinson's disease can affect anyone!
- There is no cure for Parkinson's disease!
- Living with Parkinson's disease can be very challenging!
Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement. It is caused by the gradual degeneration of dopamine-producing cells in the brain, which leads to a lack of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate movement.
The symptoms can vary widely between individuals. The four primary motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease are tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and balance problems.
While the exact cause of Parkinson's disease is not known, there are several risk factors that have been identified. These include age, genetics, exposure to certain toxins, and a history of head injuries.
There is no cure for Parkinson's disease, but there are treatments available that can help manage symptoms.
