BLOG: PA Poised to be first state to ban paraquat - which has been linked to onset of Parkinson’s
Shrinking is Back on Apple TV!
Paul (Harrison Ford) meets Gerry (Michael J. Fox), a fellow Parkinson’s patient, in the doctor’s office. Gerry’s blunt “F— Parkinson’s” attitude pushes Paul to stop minimizing his disease and adopt the same defiant outlook. Their shared humor and honesty help Paul face his progression with fresh resolve.

Join PD Avengers — Global Alliance to End Parkinson’s Disease
April 11, 2026 — Spark the Night
Blue lights around the world will illuminate the cause of ending Parkinson’s Disease — lighting up cities, bridges, and landmarks in blue as a bold symbol of solidarity and urgency. On World Parkinson’s Night (April 11), this global moment reaches millions and sends a clear message: raising awareness is just the beginning — lifting voices, funding science, and fixing systems are what will actually drive progress. Hope isn’t a plan. Action is.

Why PD Avengers Matters
Parkinson’s is complex. Too often, people feel isolated, unheard, or underserved by systems that move too slowly.
At PD Avengers, we move faster—using collective action, compassionate storytelling, and relentless advocacy to spark real change.
Our patient-led roots mean we don’t just speak for the community; we rise with it.
