Today, Sunday, April 11th, 2021, World Parkinson’s Day, we launch a video created by Paula Scurfield, one of our two invaluable patient and public involvement (PPI) Parkinson’s UK volunteers. In the film, the value and mission of PD-MitoQUANT are clearly elucidated through the eyes and voice of Paula, a person with Parkinson’s. It includes clips of video interviews with researchers at Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center and GeneXplain GmbH conducted by Paula at our last face-to-face plenary meeting hosted by TEVA Pharmaceuticals in Israel in 2019.
We applaud and celebrate Paula for her dedication and energy to direct this important video project for this important day to raise awareness and advance research toward better therapies and a cure for Parkinson’s! World Parkinson’s Day is also an opportunity to signal our commitment to a future without Parkinson’s.
