BlogGlobal Parkinson’s Pledge Global Parkinson’s Pledge Posted Date : Apr 1, 2011 The Global Parkinson’s Pledge was launched at the World Parkinson Congress in Glasgow, Scotland on September 28, 2010, to help build a global Parkinson’s movement and to make Parkinson’s a health, research, social and economic priority around the world. The goal is to collect 1 million signatures by the next World Parkinson Congress to be held in Montreal, in October, 2013. With 100,000 Canadians with Parkinson’s disease, if each person with Parkinson’s signs the pledge and invites five friends to sign, Canada will have over a half million signatures, outstripping every other country in the world.
