      Increase Local Support for Parkinson's Awareness Month!=20



      For the first time, the U.S. Senate has designated April as =
Parkinson's Awareness Month.  This action signifies the importance of =
Parkinson's disease, and recognizes Congress' commitment to finding =
better treatments and a cure for Parkinson's disease.  Thanks to the =
actions of Senators Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), Mike =
Johanns (R-NE), and Mark Udall (D-CO), this designation is now a =
national reality.

      In coordination with the Senate's designation of Parkinson's =
Awareness Month, we encourage Parkinson's advocates to work with their =
state and local governments to proclaim April as Parkinson's Awareness =
Month at home.  There are few better ways of raising awareness of =
Parkinson's disease on a large scale than promoting governmental =
awareness of this disease in our communities.  We hope that you will use =
the momentum from the Senate's national designation to ask your state =
and local leaders to raise awareness of Parkinson's.

      On the PAN Web site we have provided you with templates of a =
proclamation, a cover letter for the proclamation, and a letter to the =
editor.  Each of these documents can be tailored to your local state and =
area, giving you space to thank your Senators and anyone else who has =
helped in declaring April as Parkinson's Awareness Month.  These =
materials will help you spread the word about Parkinson's disease in =
your local area and help coordinate Parkinson's Awareness Month =
proclamations across the country.

      Please do not hesitate to contact PAN if you have any questions.  =
We hope to see many of these proclamations across our country in the =
coming weeks!=20
