Some of you might recognize the guy standing on the right (pink shirt/dark blue blazer)...... It was an honor to speak on the Hill.
Last week, Representative Jennifer Wexton and Gus Bilirakis introduced the HEALTHY BRAINS Act, a new bill that would direct the federal government to research the link between environmental risk factors, like exposure to toxic chemicals, and neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson’s. Millions of Americans, including those living with Parkinson’s and their families, stand to benefit from a concerted federal effort to better understand and identify the effects of dangerous and harmful environmental risks. Representatives Wexton and Bilirakis were both instrumental in getting the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act across the finish line, and we’re so grateful to them for continuing to champion the Parkinson’s community in Congress with this new bill!
