This video that I found on YouTube shows some of the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. For the most part all of the symptoms shown in this video are motor symptoms, and those are the tremor, and Parkinson's gait. 

This is a picture of  Michael J. Fox who is the founder of the Michael J. Fox Foundation.

The Michael J. Fox Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease and ensuring that there is development of improved therapies for those who live with Parkinson's.

This is a pie chart of the different areas of research that are funded by the National Parkinson Foundation, which is the organization that I contacted in order to set-up and interview. 

This is a picture that represents a way for the awareness of Parkinson's disease to get across to everyone in the United States. The awareness month for Parkinson's disease is in April, which is when I intend to have my action plan take place, because this sounds more realistic and reasonable plan to do. 

Regular/ Moderate exercise can help improve motor function. 

The National Parkinson Foundation is focused on meeting needs in care and treatment for more than 50,000 Parkinson's patients.

A good treatment plan, allows for Parkinson's patients to have a healthy/ active lifestyle. 

Dr. James Parkinson had first described Parkinson's disease back in 1817. 

The Paul Ruby Foundation for Parkinson's Research started in 2007, and has raised more than $500,000 thus far. 

The Parkinson's Disease Foundation is the leading national presence in research, education, and public advocacy.

The motor symptom of tremors, usually affects a patient's hands.

 Exposure to environmental toxins is one of the risk factors of Parkinson's disease.
