Situation
Parkinson’s is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world, and currently there is no cure. In the UK, around 145,000 people are already living with Parkinson’s and every hour, two more people are diagnosed. More than 1 million people in the UK are affected. Either by living with Parkinson’s, or as a friend, colleague, or family member of someone who is.
Solution
Parkinson’s UK is the largest charitable funder of Parkinson’s research in Europe. Since 1969 we’ve invested over £100 million in groundbreaking projects, generating major discoveries. We’re relentlessly chasing down a cure and are close to some major breakthroughs. That’s why we set up our Virtual Biotech, fast tracking the most promising scientific discoveries into life-changing new treatments. We’re leading the way to better treatments and together, with your support we will find a cure.
