IT is Parkinson’s Awareness Week from April 11 to 17.
The Louth & District Branch of Parkinson’s UK say the aim of the week is to raise the profile of Parkinson’s UK, which provides advice, information and support to all Parkinson patients, their friends, families and carers.
Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive neurological condition affecting 120,000 people in the UK.
