There is still a stigma surrounding Parkinson’s in India, and this is primarily due to the lack of awareness. In all age groups, many are ignorant about the disease and lack understanding about its impact. A major goal of the PDMDS is to educate and sensitize the general public through awareness programs. COVID-19 has affected people with Parkinson’s in India immensely, leaving many with limited or no access to neurologists and healthcare professionals. This has resulted in a number of them reporting worsening of symptoms due to lack of their usual Parkinson’s care. People have also reported unavailability of certain Parkinson’s medications and with no access to a neurologist, alternatives could not be suggested. Following this, PDMDS has adapted and initiated many free-of-cost resources and services to online platforms to reach people with Parkinson’s and their families across India during the pandemic. Funds generated will be used to provide free rehabilitative services to people with Parkinson's and caregivers in Mumbai and outreach centers. PDMDS will also conduct awareness programs about PD for allied health professionals, youth, and general population. PDMDS will use the funds to provide free medications to the needy and make resources for information dissemination. Help us spread awareness through this initiative to make life better for people dealing with Parkinson's. Thank you for supporting us and for donating funds for this cause.

About Me
We are final-year undergraduate students of the Department of Psychology from SIES College of Arts Science and Commerce. As part of our project, we are volunteering for an NGO - The Parkinson’s Disease & Movement Disorder Society (PDMDS). Our role as volunteers is to raise funds and awareness for Parkinson’s disease. PDMDS was established in 2001 to educate people in India about Parkinson’s and to support and rehabilitate those living with this relatively unknown condition. Through its network of professionally run community-based centers, the PDMDS provides free educational and rehabilitative support to people with Parkinson’s and their families.
