Raising Awareness of Parkinson’s Disease

Published 23 April 2015.

This week it is national Parkinson’s Awareness Week 2015 and the team at Carefound Home Care have been challenging you to ‘up your friendly’.

Parkinson’s Awareness Week 2015 – #upyourfriendly

Every year specialist charity, Parkinson’s UK, holds an annual focus week to raise awareness of Parkinson’s Disease across the country. This year the focus of the campaign is a light-hearted challenge to the public to do something friendly in order to benefit society as a whole, and particularly people with Parkinson’s – ‘Up Your Friendly’.

Parkinson’s symptoms can make simple everyday tasks a real struggle – a helping hand or friendly word can brighten up anyone’s day, but for the 127,000 people with Parkinson’s in the UK being patient and kind can mean much more.
