Rallying to the Challenge is a meeting designed for and by people with Parkinson’s, advocates and care partners to explore how the Parkinson’s community can impact and accelerate research.

Each year the meeting takes an aspect of Parkinson’s research and discusses how people living with the condition can support and influence work in this area.

This year’s theme was: ‘Modifying Progression — From Molecules to Trials’ which mirrored the science symposium Grand Challenges in Parkinson’s Disease at Van Andel Institute, U.S.
