Bastion Lighting Calendar
Bastion Lighting Colour Teal and Magenta: World Parkinson's Day
Time and date:
Parkinson’s disease was first identified in 1817 by British doctor James Parkinson, who described various symptoms of what was then called the “shaking palsy.” He was a neurologist, geologist, scientist and activist. He was born April 11, 1755. World Parkinson's Day each year is celebrated on his birthday and to focus attention on Parkinson's awareness.
More than 200 years later, there’s still no cure, but researchers are making progress in a number of areas, looking at the causes of the disease, improving patients’ quality of life, and hoping for an eventual cure.
