PEOPLE with Parkinson's, their family, carers or anyone involved in the field are being asked to share their stories to promote the UniteForParkinsons campaign.
World Parkinson's Day on April 11 brings Parkinson's organisations and supporters around the world together to show the world what Parkinson's truly is.
So, if you have a Parkinson's story to tell, here's how to share it and help make #UniteForParkinsons a huge worldwide movement:
- Record a short video using your smartphone, camera or any device
- Keep it short and simple, and make sure your audio is clear
- Tell your own story. People need to hear your voice, appreciate your challenges and feel your successes. How does Parkinson's affect your life; what is the most important thing to you right now?
- Be honest. Be Brave. Be real.
- Your video can be in any language
Once your video is ready, share it - and make sure you use the #UniteForParkinsons hashtag. Post it on Facebook, upload it on YouTube, share it on Twitter.
Get it out there so as many people as possible can watch it and be inspired. And remember to share your video again on World Parkinsons Day when the united voice will count the most.
To find out more about the campaign, and for handy information sheets on Parkinson's cause, symptoms and treatment, go to www.parkinsons.org.au or phone 1800-644-189.
