Wherever you are in the world, you can join in with other people with Parkinson’s and raise awareness for World Parkinson’s Day 2024 by taking part in one of the special events on 11 April.
Find out what’s happening near you by consulting our handy interactive Parkinson’s map or take a look at the highlights around the UK, Europe and the world below.
There’s plenty happening online, too – you could take part in a Sit ’n Stand challenge, turn your world blue, or keep up with the latest developments in Parkinson’s treatments with a webinar.
At Parkinson’s Europe, we’re getting active for World Parkinson’s Day and beyond by focusing on all the benefits exercise can bring people with Parkinson’s. Find out more about our #SummerOfSport and our new Sports and Exercise Hub (coming soon!) that’s sure to keep you motivated and inspired to live well with the condition.
