Sit to Stand
Lighting up buildings and landmarks in blue for Parkinson's awareness is a symbolic gesture that speaks volumes. It signifies unity, hope, visibility, and recognition, all of which are crucial in advancing awareness and support for Parkinson's disease.
United in purpose, PD Avengers galvanizes a global network to elevate Parkinson's awareness and advocate for meaningful change in research and treatment.
