Subject: U.S. Senate Designates April as Parkinson's Awareness Month





      For the First Time, Designation is a National Reality!=20



      For the first time, April has been nationally designated as =
Parkinson's Awareness Month.  On March 26, the United States Senate took =
an action long sought by the Parkinson's community - it designated April =
as Parkinson's Awareness Month.  This action signifies the importance of =
Parkinson's disease, and it 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), S. Res. 474 was passed =
unanimously, and this designation is now a national reality.

      The Parkinson's community has long recognized April as Parkinson's =
Awareness Month, in the hopes of spreading awareness about this disease. =
 It is heartening to know that now the recognition is national. =20

      PAN is working with our national network of grassroots advocates =
to promote Parkinson's Awareness Month and urge the passage of similar =
resolutions in state and local governments.  We look forward to seeing =
proclamations from across the country raising awareness about =
Parkinson's disease.
