Description
From Washington, DC, at the U.S. Capitol and beyond, we bring together Senators, Representatives, researchers, and advocates to amplify the voices of people living with Parkinson’s disease.

Both touched by the disease, George and Margaret are passionate about advocating for those with the disease, and for all those caring for someone with the disease by hosting lawmakers who can help form policies that aide this growing community.
