The Global Parkinson's Pledge was launched to inspire a global
Parkinson’s movement to make Parkinson’s a priority health, social, and economic issue and to advance research to find a cure.

By signing the pledge, you will be joining a global Parkinson's
movement for change. The Pledge is the lasting legacy of the World
Parkinson Congress 2010 in Glasgow, Scotland. It will be used by the global
Parkinson's community to highlight the urgency of better care for people
with Parkinson's and when we reach 100,000 signatures, we will present this pledge to the World Health Organisation
and other leading government bodies to help showcase the urgent need to
invest in better care options for people living with chronic
degenerative disease such as Parkinson's.

The World Parkinson Congress is pleased to be able to launch
this Global Parkinson's Pledge written and designed for the
international Parkinson's community. As a pledge open to anyone touched
by Parkinson's, it reminds us that moving the Parkinson's agenda forward
is something everyone can participate in. You don't have to be a
politician or world leader to sign this pledge. The more names we gather
on the pledge, the bigger the message will be regarding how many
people are affected by this disease and the quicker we'll draw attention
to our need to offer better care for patients and in finding a cure.

This pledge is a solid statement of our common mission to end
Parkinson's and care for those who live with it, but pledges in
themselves are not self-executing. They require the dedicated action of
many thousands of individuals, toiling quietly in clinics, government
agencies, corporate boardrooms and many other places to get the actual
work done. It is the challenge of this action that inspires the
Parkinson's Disease Foundation in the United States and the many other
organizations around the world that work tirelessly and passionately to
execute this pledge. As our U.K. colleagues like to say, let's "get a
move on”!
