Declares April 2025 as Parkinson's Awareness Month in Illinois to highlight the disease's impact and need for research.
Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive neurological condition affecting one million Americans, with an estimated rise to 1.2 million by 2030. The disease, the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in the U.S., causes symptoms like tremors, slowness of movement, and cognitive impairment. Despite research, there is no cure, and the cause remains unknown. The economic burden is significant, at least $52 billion annually. This resolution aims to raise awareness, emphasizing the need for increased research, education, and community support services.
