The National Plan is the first piece of legislation that aims to unite the federal government on a mission to treat, prevent and cure Parkinson’s disease.

What Will the National Plan Do?
The National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act (H.R.2365/S.1064) is bipartisan, no-cost legislation that will create an advisory council comprising members of federal agencies, people living with Parkinson's, care partners, researchers, clinicians and other non-federal experts. With the validation of a Parkinson’s biomarker earlier this year, there is no better time for the federal government to join us in supporting research for a cure.

Advocacy is important to me because I want to use my voice in ways that uplift our whole community, and in ways that can prevent and cure this disease. I want to make sure federal and state governments are doing everything they can to make sure that people living with Parkinson’s get the care and support we need.
